Nephritis may generally cause edema in areas such as the face or lower limbs. As the condition progresses, it can lead to severe renal failure, resulting in notably dry skin and loss of skin luster. Because metabolic waste cannot be properly excreted through the kidneys, a frost-like substance may form on the patient's skin. Additionally, skin itching is often prominent due to irritation from accumulated metabolic waste.
