Abstract:To investigate the prevalence of Uremic Pruritus (UP) in patients with Maintenance Hemodialysis (MHD) in Nanchong Central Hospital, analyze the related factors of UP, and explore the risk factors influencing UP and the correlation with anxiety, depression and sleep.Methods A total of 227 MHD patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study from April to September 2021 in the Hemodialysis Center of Nanchong Central Hospital. General clinical data and laboratory indicators were collected. Groups were assessed using scales (5-D Itch Scale (5D-IS), Hospital Use Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Parsons Insomnia Scale (AIS)).SPSS25.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis.Results Among 227 MHD patients, 153 had UP (prevalence rate 67.4%). The age, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum creatinine (SCr), serum cystatin C (Cys-C) and triglyceride (TG) of patients inpruritus group were higher than those innon-pruritus group.And, there were differences in age, CRP and serum inorganic phosphorus (IP) between patients inpruritus groupwith different pruritus degree (P<0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that old age, high SCr, high Cys-C and high TG were independent risk factors for UP in MHD patients. In the correlation analysis, there was a extremely weak positive correlation between 5D-IS score and HADS anxiety score in MHD patients, and a weak positive correlation between 5D-IS score and AIS score.Conclusion The prevalence of UP was higher in MHD patients. Age, CRP, SCr, Cys-C and TG levels were correlated with the occurrence of UP. Advanced age, high SCr, high Cys-c and high TG levels were independent risk factors for UP.UP was correlated with anxiety and sleep in MHD patients
