title: Plasma histamine levels and kinetics in chronic hemodialysis patients.
abstract: Pruritus is frequently observed in hemodialyzed patients; its etiology seems to be multifactorial. Increased plasma histamine levels have been reported in chronic renal failure. As histamine is a potent inducer of pruritus. The authors investigated its concentrations and kinetics in plasma of stable hemodialyzed patients.
