“Why I suffer from the skin rashes, it is so painful, and how can I get rid
of it?” one of the kidney failure patients who have the skin rashes ask me this
questions. Please read the following information carefully, you will find the
answers.
A majority of dialysis patients, whether they do hemodialysis orperitoneal
dialysis (PD), may experience itching at some point. Some feel itchy all the
time, while for others it comes and goes. Many say itching is worse during or
just after treatment. For some people the itching is in one area, while others
feel itchy all over.
A common cause of itching is a high level of phosphorus in the body. Because
dialysis doesn't effectively remove phosphorus, a renal diet that limits foods
high in phosphorous is prescribed. Additionally, taking phosphorus binders with
every meal and snacks can help. Try to maintain a phosphorus level at 5.5 or
less. Staying on dialysis for your full treatment time is also recommended,
because it can remove some phosphorus as well as other wastes and toxins.
Allergies can cause itching. If you notice itching occurs at the beginning of
dialysis treatments, you could have an allergy to the blood tubing, dialyzer
(artificial kidney), the type of heparin being used or other elements associated
with the treatment.
Antihistamines, such as Benadryl, are used to treat allergies and have helped
to relieve itching. Creams that contain capsaicin, witch hazel, lanolin or
camphormay also relieve itching. Some people report that getting sunlight or
ultraviolet (UV) light treatments in a doctor's office or treatment center helps
lessen itching.
Check with your doctor before trying any anti-itch method or product.
There are a lot of the natural treatments can deal with the kidney failure
patients with skin rashes, for example the micro-Chinese medicine osmotehrapy.
