“…However, there is no way of definitive proof. There is no specific treatment for the condition and the bullae tend heal spontaneously without scarring 8. Though the bullae were debrided in the case under discussion no infection was detected and the resultant ulcers following the debridement of the bullae did heal completely without scaring.…”

“…Bullosis diabeticorum is a noniflammatory blistering disorder of the acral skin in diabetics that occurs spontaneously and generally heals without treatment in 2–6 weeks. Secondary skin infection may occur [14]. Skin biopsy may be necessary to distinguish this disorder from similar appearing bullous diseases such as porphyria cutanea tarda, pseudoporphyria , and bullous drug eruption, which also occur in this patient population.…”

Renal failure is common in the United States with an estimated prevalence of 660,000 treated end-stage renal disease patients in 2015 [1]. Causes of renal failure are many, and complications from renal failure, underlying disease, and treatment are not infrequent. Examples of common skin manifestations include xerosis, pigmentary change, and nail dystrophies. Frequent disease-specific skin changes may be helpful in the diagnosis of primary disorders leading to renal disease or severity of disease including bullosis diabeticorum, sclerodactyly, or leukoctoclastic vasculitis. Some cutaneous changes, such as the multiple angiokeratomas of Fabry disease or the plexiform neurofibromas of neurofibromatosis, are pathognomonic of genetic disorders, which often lead to renal failure. Careful examination of the skin can provide crucial clues to diagnosis of renal failure causation and aid in monitoring complications.
