Over half of patients on hemodialysis reported chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus, significantly affecting their quality of life.
Thirty-one percent of participants experienced moderate-to-severe pruritus, with many opting for over-the-counter treatments.
Correlations revealed that higher parathyroid hormone and phosphate levels were significantly associated with increased pruritus severity.
The findings suggest critical gaps in awareness and treatment of chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus among healthcare providers.
