This is a general itchiness all over but no rash, spots or bites. I've heard that liver problems can cause an itchy skin, but kidneys too?I didn't really believe the person who told me, just checking and wondered if anyone else had heard of it.As I don't feel particularly ill and the only other symptoms are the usual hay fever ones I thought the itching was due to the pollen.

No...itchy skin has to do with the histamine in your body and your kidneys don't have anything to do with histamine.

They can, but you would have other symptoms and be rather ill.Chances are you have an allergy to something.The body getting too hot can also give these symptoms.Keep checking for a rash or bites, sometimes they don't come up straight away.If you are very concerned please visit your doctor
