Abstract
The amount of urea nitrogen on the skin of patients with pruritic and nonpruritic uremia and of normal subjects was determined. Significantly higher values were observed in patients with pruritic uremia. It is suggested that non-protein nitrogen-containing compounds are associated with the development of pruritus in uremia.
