CKD-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) is more common than many clinicians realize. Recent European data show that over 50% of dialysis patients report some degree of itch, with around 30% experiencing moderate to severe symptoms. Explore the research further: ow.ly/Rnk650WTxiz

Kidneys normally remove extra potassium. In CKD, potassium builds up because the kidneys can’t filter it effectively, raising the risk of hyperkalemia. Learn more about this condition: ow.ly/yp7550WTxmJ #CKD #Electrolytes
