The effect of oral Cimetidine compared to a classic antihistaminic and to a placebo was evaluated, under the double hypothesis of its anti-PTH and anti-pruritus action, in a population of patients recently included in Hemodialysis that were asked about the incidence and intensity of pruritus according to a scored questionnaire made for this purpose. No different efficacy of Cimetidine versus the antihistaminic classic and the placebo was observed in our study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
