@cniebler38 I echo a welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect!

As a kidney disease patient myself, it can be a real balancing act to live daily, dealing with diet and health concerns. One of the things that can cause itching is your calcium and phosphorous levels. Do you get regular labwork done to monitor your kidney situation? Watching your diet, and intake of high value calcium and phosphorous foods, may help. That may mean limiting dairy to 3/4 cup of less a day, chocolate, dairy in general [ice cream, cheese], dark colored sodas. Even though a nephrologist or general practitioner may not agree with my opinion, following a good renal diet is critical at any stage of kidney disease, and may help slow kidney function decline. There are several qualified sites to look at diet, and we have our kidney and bladder support group here on Mayo Clinic Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/kidney-conditions/
From the National Kidney Foundation about nutrition: https://www.kidney.org/nutrition
From DaVita Kidney Care: https://www.davita.com/diet-nutrition
From Fresenius Kidney Care: https://www.freseniuskidneycare.com/recipes-and-nutrition

Hoping this will give you some insight to your itching issue!
