Presentation
The present case report describes dermatopathic lymphadenopathy as a harmless cause of enlarged lymph nodes in uremic pruritus for the first time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Immune System
-
Inguinal Lymphadenopathy
PATIENT: A 43-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with inguinal lymphadenopathy and pruritus. He turned out to be uremic due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (creatinine 4.5 mg/dl, MDRD creatinine clearance 12 ml/min). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Intravenous Drugs
Alternative therapeutic approaches, including topical, oral, and intravenous drugs; dialysis modifications; homeopathic therapies; and physical treatments have been used, but few evidence-based studies exist to support their utility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
Those with a negative workup for GP fall into idiopathic pruritus (IP). In those over the age of 65, this form of idiopathic itch is often dubbed senile pruritus or Willan’s itch as it is often associated with dry skin [ 2 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Serum
-
Parathyroid Hormone Increased
Parathyroid hormone increases serum levels of histamine and mast cell proliferation and dramatic improvement in pruritus has been noted after parathyroidectomy [ 65 - 67 ]. [omicsonline.org]
Treatment
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin for the treatment of uremic pruritus (UP). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis of patients with severe pruritus was significantly worse than the others. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
From these data, it is clear that patients who suffer from pruritus also have a lower HR-QOL including sleep disturbances which may lead to poor prognosis. 4. Treatment for CKD-associated pruritus 4.1. [intechopen.com]
Etiology
However, its etiology remains unclear. In an attempt to clarify its cause we tried to correlate pruritus and its intensity with several serological variables in 94 hemodialysis patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and evidence-based current treatment are reviewed with the goal of providing a guide for diagnosis and treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of uremic pruritus is poorly understood but believed to result from metabolic disequilibrium, increased release of pruritogenic mediators and altered balance between the opioid receptors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention
Abstract Skin care is very important for preventing uremic pruritus. However, mild uremic pruritus has usually been treated with antihistamine and urea-containing ointments. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
