Diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, and lupus nephritis were the three most common kidney pathologies (59.1%, 11.4%, and 11.4%, respectively). Seventeen patients (38.5%) were receiving hemodialysis. Acquired perforating collagenosis (APC), which was observed in 16 (36.4%) of our patients, was the most prevalent skin pathology, followed by bullous drug reactions in nine (20.5%), leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) in eight (18.2%), calciphylaxis in six (13.6%), and prurigo nodularis in five (11.4%) patients. Erythematous plaques and papules were the most prevalent skin conditions at the time of presentation in 12 patients (27.3%), followed by pruritus in six (13.6%) and ulcerations in six (13.6%) patients. Collected data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A spectrum of skin conditions may be seen in CKD patients.
