Context: Pruritus in hemodialysis patients is one of the most common disturbing symptoms in patients with chronic renal failure. Non-pharmacological treatments can be useful in reducing patients' pruritus, however, few reviews have been published in this regard. The aim of this study was to provide non-pharmacological treatments for hemodialysis patients.Evidence Acquisition: The review study was conducted by searching electronic databases and search engines since 1990 to October 2017. The articles were included in the study that examined the effects of non-pharmacological treatments on pruritus in hemodialysis patients.Results: A total of 13 studies on non-pharmacological treatments affecting pruritus were reviewed. These treatments included phototherapy, aromatherapy, high flux dialyzer, acupressure, and cold dialysis. A review of studies has shown that phototherapy is not effective in treating the hemodialysis patients' pruritus. High flux dialyzer had the most effect in reducing pruritus. Other nonpharmacological treatments such as aromatherapy, acupressure, and cold dialysis also had an effect on pruritus relief. Conclusion:Finally, it can be concluded that high flux dialyzer is an effective non-pharmacological way to control pruritus during hemodialysis. However, little studies have been done on therapies such as acupressure and cold dialysis. A repeat of these studies with a larger sample size are recommended.

Introduction: Anemia is one of the major harms in hemodialysis patients, which is caused by inadequate production of erythropoietin. Functional iron deficiency (FID) anemia is a type of anemia, characterized by lack of functional iron. There are many markers identified for assessing FID in patients of chronic kidney disease(CKD). Of these the most sensitive marker is percentage of hypo chromic red cells (%HRC). Objective: To observe the frequency of functional iron deficiency in patients of chronic kidney diseases by percentage of hypo chromic red cells. Methodology: This study was carried out in the Ibnae –Sienna Hospital Multan from March 2016 to September 2016. All those CKD patients who were on hemodialysis and on erythropoietin stimulating agent (ESA) were included in the study. However, those patients who had history of chronic infections like tuberculosis or any history of malignancy were not included in this study. For this study, 150 patients on hemodialysis and on ESA were recruited. Hemoglobin (Hb), mean cell volume (MCV) and %Hypo were measured on the Sysmex XE 5000. Results: A sum of 150 hemodialysis patients on ESA were enrolled in this study. Of these 57.3%were males while 42.7% were females. The average age of patients was 48.71±11.92 years. Functional iron deficiency was observed in 28.7% of patients on hemodialysis. Conclusion: Percentage of hypochromic red cells (%HRC) is the most sensitive marker for diagnosis of FID. Timely diagnosis will help in reducing treatment related complications and improve quality of life.
