Abstract

Background and Objective: Chronic Itching reduces the Quality of Life of patients undergoing Hemodialysis. This study was done to determine the effect of chronic Itching on the Quality of Life of patients under Hemodialysis in north of Iran. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 111 patients with mean age of 58. 36± 12. 7 years were randomly selected from Hemodialysis centers of Golestan province from May to December 2017. Demographic data, Quality of Life (Itchy QOL questionnaire), Xerosis, pruritus intensity (Balaskas 1998), and laboratory tests including calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, hemoglobin and hematocrit were evaluated. Results: The mean score of Itching severity and overall Quality of Life was 29. 27± 7. 46 and 41. 4± 10. 44, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the severity of Itching and the overall score of patients' Quality of Life (P<0. 05). Correlation between severity of pruritus with symptom dimension, functional dimension and emotional dimension was significant (P<0. 05). There was a significant correlation between severity of Itching and Xerosis and serum calcium level (P<0. 05). There was a significant correlation between Xerosis and calcium level with increased Itching (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Itching reduced the Quality of Life in Hemodialysis patients in north of Iran.
