A member asked:
Why does my dialysis shunt itching during and after dialysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Irritation: The skin over the shunt may be itching in reaction to irritation from adhesive from tape or from the topical antiseptic used on clean the shunt prior to use. If there is any redness or signs of irritation, see a dermatologist for topical treatment.
