Core Tip	Skin abnormalities are common in peritoneal dialysis patients. We aimed in our study to examine all skin changes in peritoneal dialysis patients followed up in our unit. Among the 38 patients included, all but one patient had at least one skin lesion. Loss of lunula, onychomycosis and tinea pedis are the most frequent skin disorders recorded in the study group. Diabetic patients had tinea pedis more frequently. No relationship of skin findings was detected with primary renal diseases, comorbidities and medications that the patients were using. Skin changes are commonly overlooked and should be sought for timely diagnosis and treatment.
