The impact of skin disease following renal transplantation on quality of life

Summary Background  The immunosuppressive therapy a patient requires to sustain a functioning renal allograft in the long term is associated with various skin complications.

description Summary Background  The immunosuppressive therapy a patient requires to sustain a functioning renal allograft in the long term is associated with various skin complications. While quality of life (QoL) after renal transplantation has been studied, no publications document the effect of post‐transplant dermatological complications on QoL. Objectives  The objective of the study was to document the prevalence of the skin diseases that commonly occur in association with post‐transplant immunosuppression. A general dermatological quality of life questionnaire, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), was used to assess the QoL effect of these cutaneous complications. The study was designed to examine further the impact of age, sex, duration since transplant and immunosuppressive regimen on the DLQI score of renal transplant recipients (RTR). Methods  One hundred and seventy‐three RTR completed the DLQI, were interviewed and examined for evidence of common post‐transplant skin diseases. Results  Sixteen per cent of RTR had DLQI scores >6, reflecting a significant impact on their QoL. Dry skin, itch, hypertrichosis, sebaceous gland hyperplasia, acne, genital warts and a history of >4 herpes simplex virus type 1 infections in the past year were all found to have a significant impact on the quality of life (P

Conclusions  The dermatological complications of immunosuppressive therapy are common in RTR and can significantly impair QoL in certain individuals. Visible, infectious and cosmetic skin problems had most impact on QoL while a history of skin cancer had a lesser impact.
