ABSTRACT

With the continuous development and application of kidney replacement therapy, the survival time of uremic patients is gradually extended. How to improve the quality of life of uremic patients has become a new clinical topic. As one of the complications of uremia, skin itching is gradually receiving attention. Although skin itching is a dermatology disease, it is common in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially those with uremia, and it is difficult to heal repeatedly. When the condition is serious, it even leads to anxiety and depression. However, the effect of western medicine on uremic skin itching is not ideal. In this situation, traditional Chinese medicine has significant advantages in treating uremic skin itching, such as effectiveness, safety, and economy. This article mainly discusses the pathogenesis of treating uremic skin itching in traditional Chinese medicine from the perspectives of wind, deficiency, dampness, and stasis.
