Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CRF) is a disease that affected many people and had become a global epidemic. Xerosis and pruritus are the most common cutaneus manifestation in patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis. Xerosis allegedly play a role in the pathogenesis of pruritus. The aim of this research was to analyze the association between xerosis and severity of pruritus. This research was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional design conducted in Hemodialysis Installation (HI) of RSMH Palembang. The research subjects were 81 patients with CRF undergoing hemodialysis period September-November 2016. The assessment consists of: evaluation of pruritus by using interviews, severity of pruritus was measured by using visual analog scale (VAS), xerosis was assessed by physical examination, severity of xerosis was measured by body surface area (BSA) affected. The data were processed using aplication of computer for which p <0,05 were accepted as significant. From 81 subjects research, xerosis were observed in 69,1%, pruritus in 61,7%. There was association between xerosis and pruritus (PR= 4,86; p = 0,003) and severity of xerosis and pruritus (PR= 8,09; p = 0,005). There was no association between xerosis and severity of pruritus (PR = 3,600; p= 0,144). There was significant association between xerosis and pruritus but not with the severity of pruritus; and significant association between the severity of xerosis and pruritus. Patient with xerosis had five times higher possibility suffer from pruritus. Patient with moderate until severe xerosis had eight times higher possibility suffer from pruritus
