Unexpected Repigmentation of Vitiligo Universalis Following Hemodialysis Initiation: A Rare Case Report and Literature Overview
Vitiligo is a chronic skin depigmentation disorder affecting 0.2-1.8% of the global population, with a significant prevalence in Saudi Arabia. Although not life-threatening, it severely impacts the quality of life and psychological well-being of patients. We report a rare instance of hemodialysis-induced skin repigmentation involving a 25-year-old woman with vitiligo universalis.
