Abstract
- Finger gangrene due to arterial occulussive disease is a rare condition in the upper extremity. Moreover, finger gangrene occurring in patients undergoing hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease has been reported very rarely. We present a case of bilateral ring finger necrosis undergoing hemodialysis due to an end-stage renal disease.
