ABSTRACT
Pruritus is one of the commonest symptoms of dermatologic appearances in uraemic syndrome and it occurs in 90% of patients on dialysis with different etiology and pathophysiology. The aim of the study was to estimate the frequency of uraemic pruritus and the comparison with clinical and biochemical parameters in 124 patients treated by chronic haemodialysis at Department of Haemodialysis, Clinical Centre in Kragujevac. The routine laboratory analyses were carried out in the examined patients and the concentration of parathyroid hormone was determined. The study was based on data from history of disease and questionnaire taken out in all patients. Of 124 patients 46.8% had symptoms of uraemic pruritus. Concentration of urea, albumin concentration, iron, parameters UIBC, as well as hyperglycemia and time on dialysis are the significant are significantly correlated with uraemic pruritus. 27.6% of the examined patients had itching of all the body. Between the patients with localized itching and patients with generalized itching, there are statistically significant differences in the following parameters erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit and TIBC, as well as glycemia concentration.
