  • Title: Pachydermoperiostosis Presenting With End-Stage Kidney Disease.
    Author: Ghai HK, Suresh S, Elumalai RP.
    Journal: Cureus; 2024 Jun; 16(6):e62408. PubMed ID: 39011225.
    Abstract:
    Pachydermoperiostosis, also known as Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome, is an uncommon hereditary condition. This condition includes skin thickening (pachydermia), abnormalities of the bones (periostosis), and digital clubbing (acropachy). We present a case of complete pachydermoperiostosis who presented with end-stage kidney disease. Chronic tubulointerstitial disease secondary to long-term analgesics and complementary and alternative medications was considered the likely etiology for renal dysfunction. The patient underwent serial hemodialysis followed by arteriovenous fistula surgery. In view of significant synovial inflammation, he was also given a selective COX-2 inhibitor. Pachydermoperiostosis is a rare condition, and although there is no therapy for the condition itself, medicinal or surgical interventions can effectively control its secondary effects.
