ABSTRACT

Introduction: currently, the donation and transplantation of organs and tissues in our country is increasing, and one of the transplants that is being performed the most is the kidney transplant, which is the second most performed, behind the corneal transplant. Objective: the objective of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the literature on dermatological lesions associated with kidney transplantation. Material and methods: a bibliographic search was carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Google Academic, ClinicalKey and Cochrane. Scientific articles written in English and Spanish were included. The articles that dealt with skin alterations in patients who had transplants were analyzed. Results: it was observed that dermatological manifestations prevail more frequently in men, the age range is 18 to 70 years. The main conditions are infectious, pharmacological, tumorous and others, highlighting fungal infections, followed by viral, bacterial and finally parasitic infections. Conclusions: the great increase that has been seen in kidney transplantation has led to the implementation of new patient management and treatments, in order to have an improvement in the survival and quality of life of post-transplant patients. One of these managements has been the implementation of immunosuppressive therapies. However, with the use of these therapies it has been seen that the patient has a greater risk of developing dermatoses, infectious, autoimmune, inflammatory, tumors, among others. Due to the increase in this problem, it is necessary to continue with studies that address this issue.
