Background: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) mainly occurs in hemodialysis (HD) patients and could persist in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This study aims to compare the severity, correlation of various biochemical factors, and quality of life (QoL) concerning pruritus in CKD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on HD and KT recipients with chronic pruritus, where the 5-Dimensional (5-D) Itch Scale and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were used to evaluate pruritus severity and QoL.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of the DPP® RDT test for diagnosing yaws in children aged 2-15 in Alor, Indonesia, highlighting a need for better diagnostic measures as recommended by the WHO.* -
- A total of 197 children were examined, revealing that while 79.7% had yaws scars, only 3% tested positive for yaws using the DPP® RDT.* -
- The findings show a low agreement (26.9%) between clinical features and RDT results, suggesting that clinical features alone should not be relied upon for diagnosing yaws in endemic regions.*
