Where do you itch with kidney disease?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It may affect your whole body or be limited to a specific area â usually your back or arms. Itching tends to affects both sides of the body at the same time and may feel internal, like a crawling feeling just below the skin.

The doctor mentioned that my kidney function is down to about 50% and gave me some medication to try for a month before deciding if I'll need dialysis. I'm really frustrated with all of this and would love some advice on what I should do next or if there's anything else I can try.

Is my creatine level okay? I'm a bit concerned about my kidney health and wondering if everything's functioning well. Should I see a doctor for this?
