| Summary: | Uremic Stomatitis (US) represents a comparatively
uncommon intraoral complication seen, mostly, in
cases of end-stage renal disease or undiagnosed or
untreated chronic renal failure. Its frequency has
diminished due to the advent of renal dialysis. Clinically
uremic stomatitis is characterized by the presence
of painful plaques and crusts that are usually
distributed on the buccal and labial mucosa, dorsal or
ventral surface of the tongue, gingiva, and floor of the
mouth. Ultimate treatment consists of improvement of
blood urea concentration and underlying renal failure
is supported by enhancement of oral hygiene with
antiseptic mouthwashes and antimicrobial/antifungal
agents, if necessary. Here we report a rare case of
ulcerative type of uremic stomatitis occurring in a
patient of chronic renal failure due to sudden relapse of
uremia and reviewed the possible pathophysiology of
oral symptoms of chronic renal failure. |
