Has anyone experienced itchy skin (pruritus) with CKD?

Has anyone here experienced Pruritus in Stage 2 ckd. Waiting on my Nephrologist appointment but asked my Urologist is this what's going on with me her response was no because I'm not on dialysis or in kidney failure I previously went thru this and saw several other Dr's and they couldn't find anything causing it it's driving me crazy especially at night. Could this really be kidney related

I also had severe itchy skin on my hands to begin with. Went to alergist, did patch testing, I am allergic to tixocortal pivilate. Sure nobody knows what that is but I stopped using all kinds of soaps, detergents etc. I had an ointment prescribed that helped. Itching went down to the backs of my knees, my neck and a few other breakout areas. Oinment helped but when I passed a 7mm kidney stone most of the itching and skin irritation is gone. Have an appt with urologist in 2 weeks and allergist in a month. I am convinced itching is from kidney. Doctors give me a HMMMMM. Never been diagnosed with CKD or other issues but I will continue to explore.

@mc2230 I am convinced as well. Every bit of information I have read convinces me. Mine has been diagnosed as exema. I don't have any rash but get hives when I scratch.
