On metabolism in skin itching. K.G. Patakanyan (R. v. dermatol. 1928, No. 7)

Examining the urine of 80 patients with skin pruritus, the author found a sharp decrease in metabolism and an increase in NaCl. Eight patients with particularly severe itching were conducted on an achlorinated diet, and their urine was re-examined and the course of the disease was monitored in parallel.
