Racial factors may play a role in the susceptibility to chronic renal failure because there is a strong association of hypertensive end-stage renal disease in African American families.Cutaneous manifestations are to be expected in any patient who undergoes dialysis treatment. Many of the skin changes that occur in patients with chronic renal failure are also found in patients undergoing dialysis.In contrast to dialysis treatment, cutaneous signs of renal failure may actually resolve if renal transplantation is successful.However, posttransplant patients are at risk of developing primary cutaneous malignancies as well as cutaneous and mucosal lesions. It is particularly important to recognize the latter in pediatric patients with skin of color, as they are more common in African American and Hispanic children.
