Have proteinuria in urine last t time it was 200 in 24 hrs suddenly my skin started to dry the itch this white frosty stuff haven't done any blood tests yet I keep blaming the kidneys the dr says it's something else not related with ckd I really don't know the cure there isn't not for the skin not for the kidneys even with a transplant there still medication you need to deal with this very stressing have seen diabetics live long life don't know for ckd will be the same now that they are creating the bio reactor this will be something for everyone that has renal failure or disease with kidney or sugar diabetic

It most certainly is related to CKD. its called CKD-associated puritis. I have it. It's awful. It starts with an itch and then you noticed little bumps. Don't scratch them as it makes it worse. Lotions do not really help. I use Sarna. It has menthol in it which cools the itch. Gold Bond, same thing. However, it only gets worse. I found my answer was Gabapentin. Life safer. I only take 100 mgs at night, and it REALLY helps. I hope this will help you.

What I meant is that I have this white stuff apart from the itch with I don't know if it's excess oil causes dandruff, and loss of moisture causes dry scalp related to the kidney or it's a skin illness do not know

I itched something terrible and nothing helped until I had light therapy. It was a miracle for me! I did it for several months.

My husband is now eGFR 11. Fingers crossed it will stabilise at that for a while. He gets that crazy itch so I apply either castor oil with a few drops of Frankinsense, which is quite successful, or CBD oil if I can purchase some (very Expensive)and his Doctor prescribes hydrocortisone, which I alternate with the other two. Trying gabapentin again though didn’t seem effective for him previously. The first 3 are all reasonably effective for about 12 hours. Hope these suggestions are helpful.
