Persistent itching during kidney dialysis
Potential benefit studied: Changes in dialysis-associated itching scores
Supporting researchA placebo-controlled human trial found that turmeric reduced dialysis-related itching scores and improved an inflammation marker.
One double-blind trial randomized 100 haemodialysis patients with persistent itching to turmeric or placebo. Researchers compared itching scores and biochemical measurements, including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, before and after the study.
Turmeric used in this dialysis study is not interchangeable with Longevity’s final curcumin ingredient. The finished product was not tested, and its effectiveness or suitability in people with advanced kidney disease remains unknown.
