Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does laboratory and dialysis characteristics in hemodialysis patients suffering from chronic itch -- result from a representative cross-sectional study?
Answer: Long-term follow-up studies will show if the type of dialysis membrane influences the development of CI in HD patients. It is most likely that several factors e.g. elevated parathormone, origin of end stage renal disease (ESRD), type of dialysis membrane, and a neuropathic component all contribute to the occurrence of CI in HD patients. Future research should consider a multifactorial origin of itch in HD.
Output (English): yes
