Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic renal failure can lead to skin discoloration, such as a yellow-brown hue due to the accumulation of waste products in the blood. Areas of excoriation may also be present due to itching and scratching from uremia, which can result from the buildup of toxins in the body. Flushed, ruddy color would not be associated with chronic renal failure, and moist, clammy skin and rubbery consistency are not specific to this disease history.
