Solutions to Relieve Skin Itching for Chronic Kidney Disease Patients while on Dialysis

A majority of CKD patients, specifically those on dialysis, may experience itching at some point. Some feel itchy in one area and others feel itchy all over. While there have been studies to understand what exactly causes itchiness in CKD patients, there is no universal cause or solution that can be attributed to every patient. However, a common cause of itching has been attributed to high levels of phosphorus. If you are on dialysis limit foods that are high in phosphorous and remember to take phosphorus binders with every meal and snacks to help prevent or stop itching. Try to maintain a phosphorus level at 5.5 or less. Avoid scratching an itch so you will not break your skin. If this happens, keep the area clean to prevent germs from causing further infection.
