What causes skin to itch in kidney failure? Patients with kidney failure
often complain that they are suffering from itch in skin, which are tormenting
them day and night. Medicines can not achieve satisfactory effect and even
dialysis can not make the symptom relieve, either. The reasons why itch occurs
in those with kidney failure are as follows.
1. The retention of metabolism caused by nitrogen stimulates skin, which can
lead to itch in skin. On the other hand, the shrink of sebaceous gland and sweat
gland also leads to dry skin, resulting in itch in skin.
2. Itch caused by polyneuropathy of uremia belongs to Neurogenic skin
disease(Skin Itching and Kidney Disease), which can not achieve effect even after dialysis.
3. For patients with chronic renal failure, electrolyte disturbances leads
calcium to deposite in skin, which is mainly related to the
hyperparathyroidism.
4. Another thought is that patient with renal failure can not secrete the
metabolism such as urea, which will discharge out together with sweat, leading
to itch in the whole body. In recent years, it is reported that skin itch
accompanied by uremia patients can revive soon after parathyroid gland is cut
off. So it is generally believed that itch in skin is closely related to
excessive parathormone.
5. Itch in skin also may be a sign of Diabetes. There are many factors which
can lead patients with Diabetes to itch. Firstly, surrounding endings of nerves
are easy to get inflammation. Increased glucose in skin can also stimulate the
skin to itch. Secondly, increased sugar in skin and increased lactic acid will
also lead to decreased sweat and drier skin, thus resulting in itch. In
addition, if the sugar in the blood is too high, mould will invade and itch may
occur as well.
From the above mentioned, we can understand why itch in skin comes into
being. How to deal with it? It may be the main question patients with renal
failure are concerned about. After the inner intrinsic cells are damaged, the
inner environment is clean, and kidneys functions well, itch in skin will
disappear naturally and consequently. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can
achieve this effect. For more information about Micro-Chinese Medicine
