10 Uremic Symptoms
Symptom #2: Itchiness
Uremic pruritis—a more specific name given to the uremic version of a condition referred to as chronic kidney disease-associated pruritis, is a condition in which patients become excessively itchy. Pruritis, here, means itchiness.
This condition tends not to occur until patients are in the more advanced stages of their kidney disease. Pruritis tends to affect between 20% and 50% of patients whose kidneys are beginning to fail as a result of their renal disease.
