What Causes Skin to Itch in Kidney Failure

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.
