Very serious itching problem, how do you cure it?

Question

My 96 year old Dad goes to dialysis three times a week and each time he starts scratching like crazy, I was told it was some kind of acid, if so what kind and how do you combat it?

curator · Accepted Answer

If it occurs only during dialysis and not before or after, it may be something in the dialysis fluid. Ask the nephrologist if it can be changed or something given for the itching. It is common for those with renal failure to itch significantly, but it is usually unrelenting, so this may not be the renal failure alone.
