Abstract
Background and Aims: Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP) has been shown to negatively impact certain clinical outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in patients with kidney failure. However, regular screening for CKD-aP is not yet routine dialysis practice and no consensus on the preferred instrument exists. To facilitate implementation of regular screening for CKD-aP we assessed the performance of two different instruments validated in patients with CKD-aP.
