PKD is characterized by the fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys. These growing cysts will lead to kidney function decline. As we all know, kidney has many functions. The damaged kidneys can not filter the wastes and excess fluid from the blood. Itchy skin is caused by the accumulated wastes, especially the phosphorus and blood urea nitrogen. Because the phosphorus combines with calcium to form crystal, which is secreted through skin. This can cause itchy skin. And blood urea nitrogen also irritates skin and causes itchy skin.
