Association between Antihistamine Use and Clinical Outcomes in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis
H1 antihistamine use, particularly long-term use and first-generation agents, was associated with increased risks of adverse outcomes in patients undergoing HD. These findings suggest that antihistamine use may represent a potential risk marker in this population; however, the observed associations may reflect the presence or severity of pruritus rather than that of a direct causal effect.
