Have ESLD And Unremmiting Itching, Couldn T Sleep. Have High Bilirubin Level. What To Do?
I have ESLD and have unremmiting itching. I am unable to sleep at night and am able to take short naps during the day. I have tried all the known OTC remedies but to no avail. If this is what I have to look forward forward for the rest of my life it's not much. My bilirubin levels are very high. I am at my witts end. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

Have ESLD And Unremmiting Itching, Couldn T Sleep. Have High Bilirubin Level. What To Do?
Hi Itching in the end stage liver disease can be quite problematic , there are quite a few thing tried for it with limited success in some cases. anti- histaminic like cetrizine, diphenhydramine, loratidine etc can be tried. some local application lotions a like calamine and soothing agents are useful. then there are medications like rifampicin and ursodeoxycholic acid. please consult your doctor to see if any of these work for you. Thanks.
