A seventy-one years-old diabetic and hypertensive male patient with generalized pruritus, probably of uremic etiology, as a result of a rapid deterioration of renal function was presented. After changing the treatment, with improvement in glomerular filtration rate and blood urea levels, clinical signs disappeared and the patient remains asymptomatic.
