Obstacles to Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Pruritus in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Current Perspectives.
Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is a common condition amongst patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Several studies have confirmed that more than four out of ten early-stage CKD patients suffer from this condition, while its prevalence among CKD patients on dialysis reaches up to seven out of ten. It is noted to be associated with other disabling symptoms and serious outcomes. It has significant impact on sleep, mood, daily activities, and quality of life of CKD patients, and increased mortality risk of patients on hemodialysis. The Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study found 17% higher mortality among patients with moderate to extreme pruritus compared with patients with no or mild pruritus. Despite its high prevalence, ill-effect, and suffering associated with it, CKD-aP remains surprisingly under-reported on the patient's part and under-recognized by the healthcare team. Even upon being noticed, it remains unattended and poorly treated. Its etiopathogenesis is complex and not fully understood. Many treatment options are available but good quality evidence about most of those is absent, and to date, only two medications are approved for use in this condition. While a validated guideline is very much required for the benefit of the patients and caretakers, further research on several aspects of this issue is required.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focusing on the pathophysiology of the kidney and vascular supply. Epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment interventions are covered as well as basic science, biochemical and immunological studies. In particular, emphasis will be given to: -Chronic kidney disease- Complications of renovascular disease- Imaging techniques- Renal hypertension- Renal cancer- Treatment including pharmacological and transplantation- Dialysis and treatment of complications of dialysis and renal disease- Quality of Life- Patient satisfaction and preference- Health economic evaluations. The journal welcomes submitted papers covering original research, basic science, clinical studies, reviews & evaluations, guidelines, expert opinion and commentary, case reports and extended reports. The main focus of the journal will be to publish research and clinical results in humans but preclinical, animal and in vitro studies will be published where they shed light on disease processes and potential new therapies and interventions.
