Pruritus associated with chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis patients: a survey in French nephrologists

CONCLUSION: These results show that according to the opinion of nephrologists, the pruritus prevalence is low in dialysis patients. This is inconsistent with studies based on systematic patient interviews, thus suggesting that pruritus is a symptom overlooked by nephrologists. In the context of the arrival of a new drug for pruritus, patients should be more questioned about this symptom in order to propose this treatment.PMID:37915193 | DOI:10.1684/ndt.2023.31
