In addition to physical discomfort uremic pruritus disrupts sleep, negatively affects the psycho-emotional state and quality of life. In this group of patients, the association of uremic pruritus with an increase in mortality due to any causes was demonstrated. At the same time, there are no standardized approaches to the treatment of uremic itching. There is also a special category of patients receiving antitumor therapy and developing dermatological adverse events, also potentially accompanied by itching.</p> <p>This article presents a case of uremic pruritus in a patient with papulo-pustular cutaneous reaction (grade II on a Scale Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, CTCAE v 5.0) to the epidermal growth factor (EGFR) inhibitor cetuximab in combination with leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil for rectal cancer. Treatment of uremic pruritus with small doses of gebapentin (300 mg/day) led to complete regression of pruritus. Papulo-pustular rashes completely regressed after recommended systemic and topical therapy according to the severity of rush (doxycycline 100 mg 2 times a day for 5 days, cream with neomycin, natamycin and hydrocortisone 3 times a day for 7 days). Pruritus was absent during the next 6 months of follow-up. Antitumor therapy was not interrupted due to acneiform rush, and following supportive topical therapy allowed to control severity of exacerbations which did not exceed I–II grade according to CTCAE v 5.0 and did not require the addition of systemic therapy.</p> <p>Thus, therapy of uremic pruritus with gabapentin has shown was effective also in a patient with severe comorbid pathology. Supportive topical therapy consistent with the severity of papulo-pustular rash reduced the severity of exacerbations during following EGFR inhibitor therapy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Уремический зуд является распространённым симптомом при хронической болезни почек и терминальной стадии почечной недостаточности, который помимо физического дискомфорта оказывает выраженное негативное влияние на психоэмоциональное состояние, нарушает сон, снижает качество жизни. Доказана ассоциация уремического зуда с увеличением смертности в связи с любыми причинами в этой группе пациентов. В то же время стандартизованных подходов к терапии уремического зуда нет. Особую категорию представляют пациенты, получающие противоопухолевую терапию, в случае развития дерматологических нежелательных явлений, также потенциально сопровождающихся зудом.</p> <p>В статье представлен случай уремического зуда у пациента с папулопустулёзной кожной токсической реакцией (II степень по шкале общих терминологических критериев нежелательных явлений CTCAE версия 5.0, CTCAE v 5.0) на фоне терапии ингибитором эпидермального фактора роста (epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR) цетуксимаба в сочетании с 5-фторурацилом и лейковорином по поводу рака прямой кишки. Показан положительный эффект лечения уремического зуда малыми дозами гебапентина (300 мг/сут) с полным стойким регрессом зуда. Папулопустулёзные высыпания полностью регрессировали на фоне рекомендованной с учётом степени тяжести системной и наружной терапии (доксициклин по 100 мг 2 раза в сутки, 5 дней; крем неомицина, натамицина, гидрокортизона 3 раза в день, 7 дней). Зуд отсутствовал в течение последующих 6 месяцев наблюдения. Акнеформные высыпания не стали причиной отмены противоопухолевой терапии, и в последующем при соблюдении режима наружной терапии тяжесть обострений не превышала I–II степень по CTCAE v 5.0 и не требовала присоединения системной терапии.</p> <p>Таким образом, терапия уремического зуда габапентином показала свою эффективность у пациента с тяжёлой коморбидной патологией. Постоянное проведение наружной терапии с учётом степени тяжести папулопустулёзных высыпаний позволяет снизить частоту и выраженность обострений акнеформных высыпаний на фоне терапии ингибитором EGFR.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>chronic kidney disease</kwd><kwd>pruritus</kwd><kwd>uremic pruritus</kwd><kwd>papulo-pustular rashes</kwd><kwd>gabapentin</kwd><kwd>cetuximab</kwd><kwd>case report</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>хроническая болезнь почек</kwd><kwd>уремический зуд</kwd><kwd>папулопустулёзные высыпания</kwd><kwd>габапентин</kwd><kwd>цетуксимаб</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Kim D, Pollock C.
