Can Kidney disease cause dry wrinkled skin?

My sister was diagnosed with kidney failure and has to be on Dialysis treatment now. She starts dialysis next week but we're wondering if the kidney failure could be causing her skin on her face to dry out and start to wrinkle?

Yes wrinkled skin can be caused by kidney disease since when someone has kidney disease they're more easily dehydrated and that can cause dry wrinkled skin.

Wrinkled skin does happen when some has kidney disease.
