Psoriasis in a Patient on Peritoneal Dialysis: a Two-sided Mirror.
Psoriasis vulgaris is not frequently seen in patients with renal replacement therapy, especially in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis also has been reported to improve psoriatic skin lesions with a much higher response rate for peritoneal dialysis than haemodialysis. Conversely, we present a case of a man who developed psoriasis after 16 months of peritoneal dialysis. Discontinuation of icodextrin as a possible factor provoking systemic inflammation had no impact on the course of the disease. In this report, we review the existing studies and counsel caution against optimistic expectations of benefits from dialysis in patients with psoriasis.

Icodextrin cutaneous hypersensitivity: report of 3 psoriasiform cases.
Icodextrin is proposed as a new osmotic agent for use in peritoneal dialysis. Because of its recent use, adverse reactions are not well known. Cutaneous adverse effects have been described. We report 3 cases of cutaneous hypersensitivity to icodextrin and discuss the pathogenesis of this reaction.. The cutaneous adverse reaction was psoriasiform in our 3 cases. The eruption was generalized with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis in 1 case, and limited to the palms and soles in 1 case. It occurred 10 to 15 days after icodextrin therapy was initiated. In patient 1, the results of a rechallenge with icodextrin were positive. Icodextrin therapy was discontinued in all patients.. Some cases of cutaneous reactions to icodextrin have been reported in the literature, but they are rare. As in our cases, most eruptions are psoriasiform, limited to the palms and soles, or extensive. Although the etiology is unclear, a hypersensitivity reaction, with the formation of immunocomplexes, is probable.
