Prurigo nodularis is a skin disease with unknown origin which is frequent in patients on maintenance renal replacement therapy. Here, we report a patient who was dialyzed for more than 10 years with different dialyzers using different dialyzer membranes. Each time when the patient was switched to a polymethylmethacrylate membrane (Filtryzer BK-1.6P), itching and skin lesions disappeared completely. This effect could be verified three times.
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.
