Purpuric rash after starting hemodialysis—not the immediate suspect: a case report and literature review by George Jiries, George Jiries, Olga Vdovich, Olga Vdovich, Ashraf Badran, Etty Kruzel-Davila, Etty Kruzel-Davila

“…Nutritional assessment indicated adherence to standard hemodialysis dietary restrictions, likely exacerbating deficiency.Intervention and outcomesOral vitamin C supplementation resulted in significant clinical improvement, including resolution of dermatological manifestations, cessation of gingival bleeding, improvement in cardiac function, and without recurrence of pulmonary edema episodes, with no adverse effects observed.ConclusionThis case highlights the importance of considering scurvy in hemodialysis patients, particularly those with inflammation and restrictive dietary patterns. It underscores the clinical manifestations of vitamin C deficiency, its potential cardiovascular implications, and the need to revisit supplementation guidelines in this population. …”
