  • Overview

    Patients undergoing dialysis frequently experience symptom clusters resulting from chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus, or CKD-aP. These clusters include severe itching, compromised sleep quality, heightened levels of depression, and diminished quality of life. CKD-aP is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, such as susceptibility to infections, high rates of hospitalization, and elevated mortality. Join the experts as they take a deep dive into the multidisciplinary approach needed for the assessment, treatment, and monitoring of CKD-aP-associated symptom clusters.
