• Kidney Disease and Itching

    From Mike Dippel@999:1/1 to All on Tue Sep 8 23:23:30 2026
    What stage in kidney disease has itching, and what causes the body to itch?

    Itching is most common in advanced chronic kidney disease, especially stage 4 and stage
    5 (also called end stage renal disease), when kidney function is severely reduced.

    It happens because waste products and toxins build up in the blood, along with imbalances
    in minerals like calcium and phosphorus, which irritate nerve endings in the skin.
