Stage 3 CKD

Do anyone get really itchy? Is it part of Stage 3?

I had itching too when diagnosed at stage 3b. Could have been due to high phosphorus? Best to discuss with Doctor as might be other reasons?

Hi

Yes itching was a problem for me at that stage. Best solution I found was having a nice warm bath, using a substantial sponge to rub the area well, with me it was my legs, dabbing dry, then using a mild moisturiser.

It provided a relief from the itching for a while, especially at night.

I was told it's the toxins that the kidneys usually get rid of that end up on the skin's surface.

Best of luck with it.
