Inflammatory skin diseases and the risk of chronic kidney disease: population-based case-control and cohort analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence suggests an association between common inflammatory skin diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Objectives

To explore the association between CKD stages 3-5 (CKD3-5) and atopic eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Methods

We undertook two complementary analyses; a prevalent case-control study and a cohort study using routinely collected primary care data [UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD)]. We matched individuals with CKD3-5 in CPRD in March 2018 with up to five individuals without CKD for general practitioner practice, age and sex. We compared the prevalence of CKD3-5 among individuals with and without each inflammatory skin disease. We included individuals in CPRD with diabetes mellitus (2004-2018) in
