Abstract
Objective: To analyze the effect of combined Chinese and Western medicine therapy in patients with uremic pruritus. Methods: 80 cases were randomly selected from uremic pruritus patients from January 2022 to October 2023, and were divided into Group A (40 cases, pure Western medicine therapy) and Group B (40 cases, combined Chinese and Western medicine therapy) by the numerical envelope method to compare the treatment effects of the two groups. Results: The levels of clinical symptom scores (itching degree, itching area, dry skin, secondary lesions) and test indexes (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, 5-hydroxytryptamine, blood phosphorus, parathyroid hormone) in Group B were lower than those in Group A after treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Uremic pruritus patients can rapidly improve their clinical symptoms by using combined Chinese and Western medicine therapy.
