description This article reviews the neurophysiology of pruritus and presents evidence that itch is a separate modality from pain, rather than a submodality of pain. The numerous suggested pruritogens are reviewed, and evidence supporting each one is critically examined. The systemic causes of generalized pruritus are reviewed, with detailed review of the literature on uremic pruritus, cholestatic pruritus, and the pruritus associated with polycythemia vera. The specific treatments used for each of these conditions are reviewed, as well as the use of antihistamines in generalized pruritus. An approach to the workup of a patient with pruritus is suggested.
