Pruritus is one of the most bothersome symptoms in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD), however little progress is seen in our understanding of its pathogenesis and the association of different serum biochemical values with its severity. The aim of this study was to evaluate pruritus in HD patients in Benha hospital, Egypt, and to correlate its presence and severity with relevant clinical and laboratory parameters. Fifty Hemodialysis patients were randomly selected from a total of ninety nine patients receiving chronic hemodialysis. An elaborate survey, that included interviews, was conducted to identify patients with pruritus. Twenty one patients on maintenance HD have uremic pruritus (UP) out of fifty patients were enrolled in the study.
