Effect of Pregabalin versus Montelukast on TNF-alpha and IL-31 for hemodialysis patients in Iraq (A single center study)

Abstract:- Uremic pruritus severely impacts hemodialysis patients' quality of life. Pregabalin, a GABA derivative, inhibits neurotransmitters, while montelukast blocks leukotriene receptors. This study compares their effectiveness in alleviating this itch and analyzes their distinct impacts on inflammatory markers TNF-alpha and IL-31.
