    TLDR Most patients with chronic kidney disease had skin issues like paleness and dry skin, and treating these can improve their lives.
    The study conducted at a tertiary care center in India examined 80 patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to determine the prevalence and pattern of dermatological disorders. The duration of CKD in these patients ranged from 5 to 15 years. The most common skin manifestation was pallor, observed in 80% of patients, followed by xerosis in 60% of patients. Pruritus and prurigo nodularis were noticed in 50% of patients, hyperpigmentation in 40%, and hair changes in 35% of patients. Among hair changes, telogen effluvium was the most common. Cutaneous infections were seen in 30% of patients, with tinea cruris being the most common. Nail changes were observed in 10% of patients, the most common being onychomycosis. Oral mucosa changes were seen in 20% of patients. The study concluded that early recognition and treatment of these skin manifestations can reduce morbidity and improve the quality of life in CKD patients.

      Chronic Telogen Effluvium can be managed by avoiding inflammatory foods, exercising, staying hydrated, and using supplements like krill oil, saw palmetto, or licorice root. Minoxidil is discouraged due to its cost and potential for worsening hair loss, while castor oil is recommended to strengthen hair roots and reduce shedding.

      The user has been losing hair for over two years despite taking dutasteride and RU58841, even increasing dutasteride to 2.5mg. They are questioning if their hair loss could be due to telogen effluvium instead.
