Abstract

Dyschromatosis universalis hereditary (DUH) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited dermatosis, although
in some cases autosomal recessive inheritance was reported, which usually appears during childhood and
is characterized by dyspigmentation, with both hyperpigmented and hypopigmented macules. We report a
case of DUH with unexplained adult onset renal failure. The association between DUH and renal failure is yet
to be proven by further studies.
