Most perceived that uremic pruritus has decreased over the years thanks to better dialysis methods and that it is currently independent of the type of dialysis. Fifty\u2010two percent estimate pruritus affects half or more of patients, and 47.6% that it affects only a minority. 75% estimate moderate\u2010to\u2010severe uremic pruritus involves between 1 and 3 cases every 10 patients (40.5% estimating \u22643\/10 patients and 34.6% \u22641\/10 patients), and 25% it affects at least half of patients. 41% estimate that more than half the patients do not find relief from PU to prevent it from impairing their quality of life.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results highlight a large divergence in the perception of uremic pruritus among nurses.
