What Causes Itching On The Back After Removal Of The Bladder?
My husband is a white male age 69 years. He recently under went surgery to remove his bladder due to cancer. He as been itching on his back since the surgery and it is getting increasingly worse. He had an ultrasound post op and then they found that the ureter may have blockage, scheduled a loopogram and with those results have scheduled a nuclear medicine test. Could the kidney not operating correctly cause the rash on his back?
