| [ Summary ] | Proper skin care is important to prevent itching in hemodialysis patients. The Japanese population enjoys daily bathing. Washing one's body with a soft towel and the use of an emollient cream after bathing prevent dry skin and reduces severe itching. Foot-care provided by nurses is necessary to maintain the health of patients' feet. | |
