Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to better understand the natural history/natural course of uremic pruritus (UP) - itching associated with chronic kidney disease(CKD). During the lifetime of a CKD dialysis patient, UP tends to be a prolonged, frequent, and an intense itch that is known to impair the patient's quality of life (QoL), including sleep and mood.

The study will follow hemodialysis (HD) patients longitudinally to characterize their pruritus over time. The study will quantify and characterize UP and assess change over time; collect data on conditions that may be affected by UP such as sleep, mood, socialization and overall quality of life; collect data on use of medications, particularly anti-pruritic treatments, sleep aids, and medications for depression and anxiety; and collect data on medical resource use, particularly hospitalizations for treatment of skin and other infections over the duration of the study.
