What to do about itchy skin after dialysis
Itching after dialysis may be caused by various factors, such as allergies or electrolyte imbalances. To address this issue, the following measures can be taken:
1. Adequate dialysis: Ensure sufficient dialysis to effectively remove toxins from the body and reduce the occurrence of skin itching.
2. Dietary control: Reduce intake of high-phosphorus foods to maintain phosphorus balance in the body and prevent itching caused by elevated blood phosphorus levels.
3. Selecting an appropriate dialyzer: Use a dialyzer with good biocompatibility to minimize allergic reactions.
4. Skin care: Use moisturizing skincare products, avoid bathing with excessively hot water, and keep the skin hydrated to relieve itching.
If itching persists or worsens, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
