Hi ,
renal damage causes increased uric acid level in blood which results in Uremia. Increased uric acid level will causes intense itching all over the body.
you do a renal function test to make sure whether the other kidney works well and consult a general physician , then follow his words.
Get well soon,
Dr.Ravindar
