Welcome to our community, Lilac. We are happy that you have joined us.  this is a great place for information, support and even fun at times.  We are family here.  :grouphug;
I notice that you posted this question on the discussion board and I do hope you get some good answers there.  What I do know is that itching can be due to high levels of phosphorus.  You need to talk to your nephrologist about it.

Could you tell us a bit more about yourself in this thread?  what kind of dialysis are you doing?  In-center or home?  How long have you been on dialysis?  What caused your kidney failure, etc....?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Lilac  :welcomesign; aboard.  As for you question, let your Dr. or Dialysis Nurse know of your symptoms.  Normally when I itch is because of high phosphorus level.  I take 2 Tums with every meal as a binder.  Be sure to talk with your Dr.

Hi,
  I've done a lot of traveling, using different clinics.  One thing I noticed was my back itching at one center and they suggested I bring an old sheet to put on their chair.   Something about whatever the chair was covered with may have been the problem because once I used the old sheet, it pretty much went away.
