    TLDR Renal transplant recipients often have skin issues, especially infections, and need regular skin check-ups.
    This study examined the prevalence and clinical spectrum of dermatologic conditions in 338 renal transplant recipients (RTRs) over a 10-year period at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The most common conditions were infectious (37.3%), with viral warts being the most prevalent, followed by inflammatory (24%), drug-induced (12.4%), hair disorders (11.5%), and neoplastic (5.9%) conditions. Increasing age was linked to higher odds of neoplastic conditions, while sex influenced the likelihood of specific conditions, with males more prone to inflammatory conditions and females to hair disorders. The findings emphasize the importance of dermatologic screening and follow-up in the care of RTRs.
