This is helpful info. I'm stage 3 kidney failure not on dialysis. I have been itchy also especially at night. I thought it was from diabetes. When I mentioned to my nephrologist she said probably dry skin buy a good lotion. I didn't believe that, what is said here makes more sense.

@ladybuggy Hi, my wife has the same symptoms as you, she noticed they seemed to lesson when sipping water rather than drinking or guzzle along with taking her meds. Sipping gives your digestive tract time to digest, first with the saliva in your mouth and then slowly down the rest of your tract, giving water time to be absorbed into your bodies various tissues and organs. Hope this helps. By the way Ladybug is the nick-name I gave my daughter and that's mainly why I responded to your post.
