Abstract: One of the most common conditions affecting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is pruritus. Studies report that itchy and dry skin, symptoms of pruritus, affect 40%â90% of ESRD patients.
Mortality/Morbidity. 1  The most common cause of sudden death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is hyperkalemia, which is often encountered in patients after missed dialysis or dietary indiscretion. Serum potassium also rises when the serum is acidemic, even though total body potassium is unchanged.
