Objective:To investigate the prevalence of uremic pruritus and related factors in patients undergoing hemodialysis.Methods:A total of 212 patients with uremia who undergo hemodialysis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University in March 2021 were included in this cross-sectional study. Data including gender, age and blood biochemical indicators were collected. The 5D itch scale was used to evaluate skin itch in patients. The included patients were divided into pruritus and no pruritus groups according to evaluation results. Related indicators were compared between the two groups. Binary logistic regression analysis of skin itch related factors was performed.Results:According to 5D itch scale evaluation results, 129 patients (60.85%) of the 212 patients had no skin pruritus, and 83 patients (39.15%) had skin pruritus. In the pruritus group, age, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, alkaline phosphatase, brain natriuretic peptide, ferritin were 63.0 (51.0, 72.0) years, 1.66 (0.30, 7.85) mg/L, 93.0 (70.0, 118.0) U/L, 192.0 (84.9, 446.4) ng/L and 421.0 (291.6, 577.6) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than 53.0 (42.0, 63.0) years, 0.40 (0.30, 1.88) mg/L, 79.0 (62.0, 99.0) U/L, 143.3 (65.8, 256.5) ng/L, 356.8 (203.3, 528.4) μg/L in the pruritus group ( Z = -3.14, -3.96, -3.05, -2.88, -2.11, all P < 0.05). Increased hypersensitive C-reactive protein, brain natriuretic peptide, ferritin levels ( Wald = 14.58, 4.17, 4.23, all P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for uremic pruritus. Conclusion:Uremic pruritus remains a serious problem in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Increased hypersensitive C-reactive protein, ferritin, brain natriuretic peptide levels are independent risk factors for uremic pruritus. In clinical work, physicians should focus on strengthening the early identification of patients, optimizing treatment measures, and improving the quality of life of patients.
