Pruritus in patients undergoing hemodialysis reduces quality of life via insomnia and depression, and negatively affects prognosis. For diagnosing pruritus, selecting therapeutic strategies, and determining therapeutic outcomes, methods are needed for objectively quantifying the degree of itchiness. In 2015, the Japanese version of the 5-D itch scale (5D-J), originally developed in the USA in 2010, was developed as a simple self-administered questionnaire; it evaluated the degree of itchiness based on five components: (1) duration of itchiness, (2) degree of itchiness, (3) direction of itchiness, (4) disability caused by itchiness, and (5) distribution of itchiness. 5D-J is useful for comprehensively assessing multiple elements related to itchiness. We used 5D-J to assess the degree of itchiness experienced by patients undergoing hemodialysis to investigate its clinical usefulness.
