Analysis of clinical characteristics of pruritus in uremia patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of pruritus in the uremia patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Methods The clinical data of 213 uremia patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis for more than 3 months were collected,who were divided into two groups of A(with pruritus,111 cases)and B(without pruritus,102 cases).The relevant data were analyzed between the two groups.The risk factors of pruritus in maintenance hemodialysis patients were analyzed.Results Compared with group B,the 24-hour urine volume was lower,and the levels of ferritin and parathyroid hormone were higher in group A(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased 24-hour urine volume was the independent protective factor for pruritus(P<0.05).Conclusion Pruritus is prone to occurring in the uremia patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Increased 24-hour urine volume is closely related to pruritus.
