Update Date: Source: Network

Itching in the abdomen is generally not a manifestation of uremia. Uremia mainly causes skin itching and metabolic acidosis, and usually does not lead to skin itching. Skin itching is mostly caused by eczema, allergic dermatitis, liver and gallbladder diseases, diabetes, etc. Here are some details:

1. Eczema: If you have eczema, you may also experience skin itching, usually presenting as patchy distribution, accompanied by papules, blisters, etc. The itching symptoms are usually severe and require prompt medical attention.

2. Allergic Dermatitis: If you have allergic dermatitis, you may also experience skin itching, which may manifest as localized onset, accompanied by erythema, edema, urticaria, etc. It is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for allergen testing and take anti-allergic drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

3. Liver and Gallbladder Diseases: Liver and gallbladder diseases such as liver cirrhosis and gallbladder inflammation may cause skin itching due to factors such as bile stagnation. It may also be accompanied by jaundice, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, etc. It is necessary to seek medical attention promptly for liver function tests, gallbladder ultrasound, etc., to make a clear diagnosis.

4. Diabetes: People with diabetes may experience peripheral neuropathy, leading to skin itching. The symptoms of skin itching in some patients can be relieved after stable blood sugar control.

The kidneys are the main organs for eliminating metabolic waste from the body. When toxins accumulate in the body, skin itching may also occur. If skin itching is caused by kidney disease, it is recommended to take metformin hydrochloride tablets under the guidance of a doctor. If skin itching is caused by skin disease, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for a clear diagnosis and corresponding treatment.
