Abstract
|
|
|
Phototherapy with UVB has become a cornerstone in treating uremic pruritus. To investigate the additional benefit of emollient, we performed emollient-phototherapy in six uremic pruritus patients on hemodialysis, one of which was not responding
with UVB
only.
After applying mineral oil over the whole body, UVB phototherapy was performed two to three times weekly. Improvement was noted within one to three treatments and after three to ten treatments, pruritus markedly or totally disappeared in all six
patients.
This result suggests that emollient-phototherapy in as effective as. or in some patients. more effective than phototherapy with UVB only in managing uremic pruritus.
