Brief Answer:
I do not think that is any specific kidney condition that would cause rash

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I believe that frequent chronic urinary tract infections are causing your problems rather than a kidney disorder. I suggest to get a urinalysis and urine culture/ sensitivity test done.

I do not think that is any specific kidney condition that would cause rash and frequent urination with fatigue. Kidney transplant rejection patients can experience rash and frequent urination but this cannot be the case in you as there is no such history. Please, let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you!
