BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is common in hemodialysis patients and severely impairs their quality of life, but the practices of nephrologists remain poorly known.
METHODS: The objective of this on-line survey was to describe the management of CKD-aP in French nephrologists affiliated with the French-speaking Society of Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation (SFNDT) and involved in hemodialysis.
RESULTS: In total, 122 questionnaires were completed and 100 were usable. Nephrologists reported they personally managed a median of 52 patients; they estimated that the CKD-aP prevalence in their hemodialysis patients was a median of 10% (IQR, 6.3-17.2); 6% of nephrologists reported not following any patient with CKD-aP. In case of CKD-aP, the first-intention intervention was the evaluation of phosphocalcic metabolism (53.5%) and verification of dialysis adequacy (52%). For moderate-to-severe CKD-aP, the first-line prescription was topical therapy (71.3%), antihistamine (23.2%) and membrane change (15.9%). Patients were referred to a dermatologist mainly in case of treatment failure (86.9%) or scratching lesions (40.4%). Available treatments were considered ineffective for 50.5% of nephrologists, partially effective for 45.5% and effective for only 4%.
CONCLUSION: These results show that according to the opinion of nephrologists, the pruritus prevalence is low in dialysis patients. This is inconsistent with studies based on systematic patient interviews, thus suggesting that pruritus is a symptom overlooked by nephrologists. In the context of the arrival of a new drug for pruritus, patients should be more questioned about this symptom in order to propose this treatment.
