  Several blood parameters and serum biochemical values have been associated with pruritus in hemodialysis (HD) patients. However, the pathogenesis of uremic pruritus (UP) is still obscure. It is of interest to find some blood values that can predict the progression of pruritus from mild to severe in HD patients. The occurrence of pruritus, its duration, severity and correlation with patient’s laboratory data was evaluated. Blood samples from hemodialysis patients and hemodialysis patients with mild, moderate, and severe pruritus were taken during the dialysis. In addition, blood samples from non-renal failure normal control. The association between severity of pruritus and blood and serum laboratory parameter including, RBCs, HCT%, Hb, total and differentiation WBC counts were evaluated. In addition, the relationships of total protein, albumin, globulin, IgA. IgM, IgG, and IgE wi.. View More»
