Abstract

Prurigo nodularis is a skin disease with unknown origin which is frequent in patients on maintenance renal replacement therapy. Here, we report a patient who was dialyzed for more than 10 years with different dialyzers using different dialyzer membranes. Each time when the patient was switched to a polymethylmethacrylate membrane (Filtryzer BK-1.6P), itching and skin lesions disappeared completely. This effect could be verified three times.
