Interventions
- Probiotic Blend Capsule
- Activated Charcoal
Primary outcomes
- Change in serum Indoxyl sulfate (IS) level — Four weeks
IS is one of the most potent protein bound uremic toxins . mesasuring serum indoxyl sulfate level at baseline and after a 4 weeks trial period by using ELISA kits. - Change in visual Analog scale (VAS) score. — Four weeks
A 10 cm horizontal line marked from zero (no pruritus) to 10 (worst possible pruritus). The pruritus will be assessed subjectively and scored at baseline and after a 4 weeks trial period . - Change in Dermatology life quality index (DLQI) — Four weeks
10-Item questionnaire aiming to measure how much skin problem has affected on QOL . mesasuring DLQI at baseline and after a 4 weeks trial period .
