 Differences in pruritus prevalence were found between countries (ranging from 38% in France to 55% in Italy) and facilities (5-75%). Pruritus was more common in patients on HD >3 months than in patients starting HD. A number of patients' serum characteristics, including high calcium, phosphorous and calcium x phosphorous product levels, were significantly associated with pruritus. Patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus were more likely to feel washed out and to have poor sleep quality, physician-diagnosed depression and a reduced QoL than patients with no or mild pruritus. A significant 15% higher mortality risk was observed in pruritic HD patients but this significance was not seen after adjusting the data for sleep quality measures.
CONCLUSIONS:The self-reported prevalence of pruritus in HD patients is relatively high, 40-50%. Pruritus is associated with poor outcomes and a higher mortality risk, probably attributed to poor sleep quality. Better therapeutic treatments are needed for relief of distressing uraemic itching in HD patients.
