Uremic pruritus (UP) is a common condition among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hemodialysis (HD). We report 19 a case of severe UP recalcitrant to conventional therapy including topical corticosteroids, anti-histamines, and phototherapy, 20 which was treated successfully with the Goeckerman regimen consisting of topical coal tar, topical corticosteroids, and broadband 21 UVB (BB-UVB).
