Similar with other kinds of Chronic Kidney Disease, Chronic Nephritis also
has a series of symptoms as swelling, high blood pressure and itchy skin and so
on. Among these symptoms, itchy skin is one of the most worrisome symptoms. Then
what causes skin itch in patients with Chronic Nephritis?
First of all, for patients with Chronic Nephritis, due to the decrease of
their renal function, metabolin of nitrogenous substances can not be discharged
smoothly by their kidneys; as a result, retention of them appears. Accumulation
of these substances can give rise to stimulation to patients’ skin, which will
give rise to itch of skin.
Secondly, we all know Chronic Nephritis is a common Chronic Kidney Disease
with slow progress. For patients with Chronic Nephritis, during the progress of
their disease, it is very possible for them to have neuropathy which is another
cause of itchy skin. Skin itch caused byneuropathy belongs to neurological itchy
skin(Skin Itching and Kidney Disease) disease and it can not be relieved through dialysis.
Thirdly, for patients with Chronic Nephritis, due to the decrease of renal
function, a series of disorder in their body will occur, including dysbolis of
electrolyte. Because of dysbolism of electrolyte, calcium deposits in the skin,
resulting in hyperparathyroidism which will promote the generation of
parathyrin. Increased level of parathyrin will also give rise to skin itch.
Fourthly, for some patients with Chronic Nephritis, they are easy to have
anaphylaxis, which may cause skin itch. For these patients, taking some
antihistamine medicines will help to relieve this symptom.
As a life-threatening kidney disease, Chronic Nephritis always makes patients

of these symptoms, the root solution is to receive effective treatment which
will not only can help to relieve their symptoms, but also help to repair their
