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

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Support Group.

You really should discuss it with your doctor especially the severity to the point of bleeding. They may be able suggest or prescribe a treatment. Best wishes to you

Thank you. I will be discussing this with my doctor very soon. I think my issues are a combination of a couple of things. This has been really a horrible experience.

@jeannie85 The one thing that did help me the most is Xyzal ! I was able to stop itching until this last episode. Another thing that helped is Lyrica. Hope you feel better soon

I also wanted to say that the itchiness happens only on the left side of my body. It’s all down my left arm and on my back too. I just don’t understand why it’s happening this way… Renee
