Abstract: One of the most common conditions affecting end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is pruritus. Studies report that itchy and dry skin, symptoms of pruritus, affect 40%â90% of ESRD patients.
Most patients with GERD experience symptom relief through medical therapy, so empiric therapy is a simple and cost-effective (although not optimally sensitive or specific) diagnostic test. A diagnosis of GERD can be assumed in patients who respond to therapy; however, unresponsive symptoms do not rule out GERD.he presence of typical symptoms combined with endoscopic changes is 97 percent specific for GERD (Table 1) . âAlarm symptomsâ suggestive of complicated disease include dysphagia, odynophagia, bleeding, weight loss, and anemia.
