ObjectiveTo observe the effect of using hemoperfusion and hemodialysis in series for treating refractory uremic pruritus.Methods56 patients with refractory uremic pruritus were randomly divided into two groups,the observation group(n=28)received hemodialysis and hemoperfusion in series,the control group(n=28)received conventional hemodialysis.Improved Duo′s pruritus score was used to observe skin itching points on 2,4,8 weeks before and after treatment,and also detect serum PTH,β2-MG changes and adverse reactions in the same time points.ResultsAfter 8 weeks,pruritus of patients in the observation group were significantly improved,Duo integral decreased notably,complete remission rate was 53.6% (15/28),partial remission rate was 28.5% (8/28),the total effective rate was 82.1% (23/28);complete remission rate of the control group was 14.3% (4/28),partial remission rate was 25.0%(7/28),the total effective rate was 39.3%(11/28).The difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).ConclusionHemoperfusion and hemodialysis in series is effective in treating refractory uremic pruritus
