Why Itchy Skin Still Occurs After Dialysis

Many patients ask why they still have itchy skin after dialysis. The longer you take dialysis, the severe your condition will be. This affects the life quality seriously.

Itchy skin can be caused by the following conditions:

1. Electrolyte metabolism disorder cause itchy skin.

When kidneys are damaged, they can not balance electrolyte metabolism. In this condition, phosphorus will build up in your blood while calcium level in blood will decrease. This will stimulate the parathyroid hormone secretion so as to cause secondary hyperparathyroidism. Medical research shows that secondary hyperparathyroidism can cause itchy skin.

2. Dialysis insufficiency

Dialysis can not effectively remove toxins out of your body. It only discharges small molecular substances while middle molecular and large molecular wastes are still in your body. Thus, itchy skin still happens after dialysis.

Is there any effective treatment for itchy skin?

The effective treatment for itchy skin is to improve your own kidney function. When your renal function is improved, your kidneys can expel excess phosphorus and effectively discharge toxins out. Itchy skin can be relieved from the root. Besides, it is possible for you to reduce dialysis times or even avoid dialysis. The treatment for enhancing renal function is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy which is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). This therapy has four major functions including dilation of blood vessels, anti-inflammation, anti-coagulation and degradation. Kidney function can be improved gradually. Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is used simply. Chinese medicines are first micronized and then put into two medicated bags. These two medicated bags are placed on patients’ back. Patients lie on these two bags to take this therapy. It is very comfortable so many patients or even family members want to take this therapy. The active ingredients of Chinese medicines can play its full function and the efficacy can arrive at kidney lesion directly with the help of osmosis machine. Usually you can see effects after 10 days of treatment. High creatinine level can be reduced. Symptoms like nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, itchy skin or swelling can be relieved. After about one month of treatment, renal function can be improved gradually.
