UKM-OnlineTalk: "Juckreiz - Chronischer Pruritus"

When itching persists not just briefly, but for several weeks and months, it's usually a case of chronic pruritus. For those affected, this is a torment, as it often takes several years to receive a diagnosis. Besides atopic dermatitis or other skin diseases, metabolic disorders such as diabetes, liver, or kidney disease can also be the cause of chronic itching. In our UKM OnlineTalk, Professor Dr. Sonja Ständer, Head of the UKM Competence Center for Chronic Pruritus (KCP) and one of the world's most renowned scientists in this field, discusses the search for the origin of itching and the diverse treatment options available. The UKM OnlineTalk is moderated by UKM Press Officer Anja Wengenroth.
