AAKP HealthLine Webinar: Stop the Itch: Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease-Associated Pruritus (CKD-aP)
Are you on hemodialysis and suffer from moderate to severe itching?
If so, you may have a condition called Chronic Kidney Disease - Associate Pruritus (CKD-aP). CKD-aP is often a distressing and overlooked condition found primarily in individuals with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), such as those on hemodialysis. It is believed to affect approximately 30-70% of kidney patients and has been associated with poor quality of life, poor sleep, depression, and increased hospitalizations and/or death in hemodialysis patients due to the risk of inflammation and infections due to an individual’s continual scratching of the skin in an attempt to satisfy the ‘itch’ which can lead to lesions or broken/damaged skin.
This webinar was supported by an educational donation from Vifor Pharma.
