Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy is a relatively new skin disorder affecting only individuals with renal failure. This disease resembles scleromyxedema with thickening and hardening of the skin of the extremities, but it is distinctly different. Nephrogenic fibrosing dermopathy has no consistently effective treatment and its cause is unknown; however, there are several documented theories as to the factors that may contribute to its development. We present a brief overview of the literature and four patients with the disorder who share similarities in disease onset.
肾源性纤维化皮肤病是一种相对较新的皮肤病，仅影响肾衰竭患者。这种疾病类似于硬化性黏液水肿，表现为四肢皮肤增厚和变硬，但又明显不同。肾源性纤维化皮肤病没有始终有效的治疗方法，其病因不明；然而，关于可能导致其发病的因素有几种有文献记载的理论。我们简要概述了相关文献，并介绍了四位患有该疾病且发病情况相似的患者。
