The purpose of this study is assessing of response to treatment of cromolyn sodium gel 4% and comparison to pimecrolimus cream 1% in patients with end stage renal disease.Materials & Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized single blind study in 60 ESRD patients randomly divided to two groups of 30 each and a group treated with cromolyn sodium gel 4% and another group treated with pimecrolimus cream %1 for 8 weeks two times a day starting immediately after dialysis. Patient's pruritus levels was determined 9 times (before the start of the study and at the end of each week after for eight weeks) using a Visual Analogue Scale.Results: The mean score of pruritus in the group receiving cromolyn sodium gel 4% was assessed 9.4±5.1 and 3.1±5.4 before and after the medication, respectively (P<0.0101). And, in the group receiving pimecrolimus cream %1 was detected 9.1±5.3 and 5.7±3.2, respectively (P<0.0101).
