A 'game' played by cruel medical students is to try to guess which patients waiting in a clinic have renal disease on the basis of their distinctive skin color, which has been described as varying between tan and muddy green. I find it is much worse in patients who have had a failed transplant and returned to dialysis, although this may just indirectly measure the patients who have had renal disease longer. I used to be perfectly white, even too pale, but recently one of my friends commented that it wasn't like me to be visiting a tanning studio -- but of course I hadn't!

I always have a tan ruddy looking face. I think it reflects my kidney disease. Sometimes my lips are even blue.

Before I had my first transplant I was yellowish at times and grey at times. Now that I'm facing dialysis again maybe I'll be green this time around. Wow, always something to look forward to. At the moment I'm quite white and washed out looking but I cover it with makeup. Faking it as long as I can.

Just hit the Quote button, then delete the words that you don't want from between the first and last lines of code. Don't delete those 2 lines tho, or you'll mess it up! Sorry, I tried giving you an example, but I ended up with those purple boxes when I posted it! |

That's funny. Just yesterday my sister-in-law took me to the dialyskis clinic
for my monthly appt. and after we left she said did you notice the lady I was talking to had
the oddest color of skin. I said no I didn't notice who she was talking to, was she a patient?
She said yes.

Not long ago, I told Beth that I just felt like I looked yellow. I thought maybe I just needed to get some sun, but I guess this is just another side effect. When I look at recent pictures vs. 2 years ago, I can tell my skin tone has changed. So many things they don't tell you about!

I'm Maybelline Fair, with a sheer bronze blush!
Seriously, I'm mostly just pale. I don't tan well. I was a bit yellowy before I started dialysis, but that's cleared up now that I'm on home hemo.
