Skin rash during hemodialysis. This figure represents the evolution of the skin rash that occurred during the dialysis sessions with different dialyzers and the trend of IgE, tryptase and eosinophils during the treatment with different dialysis membranes. Over time the skin rash disappeared with Vit-E dialyzer and tryptase concentration, eosinophil count and IgE levels decreased
