  • I went online and looked for an answer to your question and found this: "Answer: Itching is a common complaint of patients with kidney disease. Among those requiring dialysis, 40-90 percent experience this symptom. The cause is unknown, but it is likely due to a combination of factors as indicated by the variability in symptoms and response to therapy. Possible contributing agents include dry skin, high blood levels of vitamin A, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, beta2-microglobin and increased histamine levels in the skin. Additionally, other disorders such as the underlying cause of the patient's renal failure, allergies, gallbladder disease and cancers may be the source of itching in persons with kidney disease." I know it's not much help but it's all I could find
  • You might consider a med like atarax which helps a lot of itching.
