Many of you mention itching. I thought I keep getting insect bites, small hard itchy spots mostly on my legs could this be due to ckd?

Itching can be due to high phosphate levels in your blood . It does not usually form spots as far as I am aware or that I have experienced to date. If you have spots go see your GP or local health drop in centre if it is prolonged .

It could be Psoriasis. I have it and Psoriasis arthritis. My uric acid level was high, which was associated with the kidney but not directly

You need to go to see your GP. Vasculitis could be a cause of these symptoms and you need to have this diagnosed so that you can receive the appropriate treatment as soon as possible.
