Abstract


Pruritus is one of the symptoms of the uremic sybdromc, it subsides following the instillation of hemodialysis, but in a large percent of patients, Pruritus may recur or appear for lhe first time on dialysis.

The incidence of uremi:. Pruritus was increased dramatically after the advent of dialysis due to prolonged survival of the patients with end stage renal failure

The pathophysiology of uremic Pruritus is still unknown a number of different mechanics have been proposed to explain the origin of uremic Pruritus but none of them is completely convincing, among these theories, xerosis, peripheral neuropathy, and accumulation of pruritogenic substances which are not removed by dialysis and might exert their effect on itch centers of receptors such as divalent ions (Calcium, Phosphorus and magnesium), parathyroid hormone, histamine, interleukein I and Vitamin A.

Many methods have beer. used in the treatment of uremic Pruritus, this included cholysty ramine, oral charcoal, intravenous lidocain, topical emollients, niceryoline, ans heparin intravenous and UVB Phototherapy

UVB Light resulted in resolution of Pruritus.

The serum level of 1,25 (OH)2 vitamin D after exposure to UVB Phototherapy was increased with a mean of 33.56 and a standard deviation of 0.16.

The serum level of Calcium a.fter exp0sure to UVB Phototherapy was incri:
The tissue level of ca!cium after exposure to UVB Phototherapy was increased with a mean of 0.96and standard deviation of 0.18.

The serum level of phosphorus was decreased after UVB Phototherapy with a mean of 7.9 and a standard deviation of 2.04.

The tissue level of phosphorus was decreased after UVB Phototherapy with a mean of 0.02 and a standard deviation of 0.01.
