Study Summary

Pruritis (itching) is common in many people with chronic renal failure on hemodialysis. There may be many different reasons for the pruritis. Efforts to treat the problem have not been very effective. Vitamin D levels have been found to be low in many hemodialysis patients. Since vitamin D plays an important role in the skin and is effective in treatment of certain skin conditions that involve pruritis, it may have a role in treatment of pruritis in hemodialysis patients. The objective of the investigators study is to determine the effect of supplementation with oral vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) on pruritis in hemodialysis patients.

Primary Outcome

Randomized patients will fill out a survey with questions about the degree and location of their pruritis at baseline and end of study. The total score ranged from 0-21 with 21 being the most severe and zero being the absence of any of the measures of pruritis. Last observation was carried forward to end of study. A decrease in the Severity of Pruritis score over time indicated an improvement in the severity of pruritis.
