“…This may be because this study had a much smaller sample size (n = 54). However, a recent study carried out by Ankudowicz et al [21] in 2018 found a prevalence more similar to that of our research (56.6% of nail pathology), although not as high since the patients were not kidney transplants but were undergoing hemodialysis treatment.…”

“…The scientific evidence is ample in relation to the repercussions on the foot in subjects with ESRD, Diabetes Mellitus, and the elderly; however, there has not been extensive and current literature that identifies the repercussions on the foot when the subjects have been recipients of a kidney transplant. Despite this, there are articles that highlight the importance of identifying skin and nail conditions, as it helps reduce the association of the person's health status with morbidity and mortality [21], since in many cases these manifestations are generally secondary to immunosuppressive treatment [22].…”

Although several studies show the prevalence of podiatric conditions in people with end-stage renal disease or renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis, there is little scientific literature on this when subjects are undergoing kidney transplantation. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of podiatric skin and nail pathology in renal transplant recipients. A descriptive, observational, prevalence study was conducted at the Nephrology Department of the University Hospital of A Coruña. A total of 371 subjects were studied. The variables studied were sociodemographic (age, sex), anthropometric (Body Mass Index), comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index), and podological (skin and nail alterations). A high presence of skin (83.1%) and nail pathology (85.4%) was observed, with hyperkeratosis (68.8%), onychogryphosis (39.4%), and onychocryptosis (36.9%) being the most predominant alterations. Although it was not significant, patients with a higher risk of presenting podiatric pathology were of female sex and had a high BMI, and both age and the Charlson comorbidity index were significantly associated with this risk. There was an increased risk of both skin and nail pathology at older age and in the presence of diabetes mellitus.
