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]
Skin
- Skin Lesion
A skin disease characterized by the development of severe, prickling-like epidermal discomfort which is without observable skin lesions and that is evoked by contact with water at any temperature. 2. [wordinfo.info]
Abstract Generalized Pruritus (GP) is chronic itch that occurs without any associated diagnosable skin diseases or primary skin lesions. [omicsonline.org]
Mycosis fungoides (folliculotropic variant) in a dialysis patient, with rare presentation of persistent generalized pruritus with characteristics of uremic pruritus without skin lesions. ( 25060007 ) Aleckovic-Halilovic M....Halilbasic A. 2014 42 Efficacy [malacards.org]

In patients with CKD, primary skin lesions are not found. Secondary skin lesions include such as excoriations, impetigo, linear crusts, papules, and ulcerations. [oatext.com]
Neurologic
- Convulsions
Anti convulsant, gabapentin may have beneficial effect. Other ole remedies include fish oil, omega 3 fatty acids, IV heparin, thalidomide, lidocaine and mexitine. [oatext.com]
Urogenital
- Sexual Dysfunction
Drug-induced sexual dysfunction in men and women. Aust Prescr 2013;36:42-5. [jpbsonline.org]
AEs of sertraline use in this patient population include increased bleeding, gastrointestinal symptomology, sexual dysfunction, and cardiovascular effects, all of which must be weighed against the potential benefits of reduced UP. 21 Glucocorticosteroids [uspharmacist.com]
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]
Treatment
All patients responded to the treatment. [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]
It explains the pathophysiology of itch, describes all causes, and provides guidelines for management and treatment. [books.google.com]
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]

Uraemic pruritus is characterised by daily bouts of itching that tend to worsen at night and may prevent sleep. The itch may be generalised or localised to one area, most often the back, abdomen, head and /or arms. [dermnetnz.org]
