Rapid resolution of calciphylaxis with intravenous sodium thiosulfate and continuous venovenous haemofiltration using low calcium replacement fluid: case report.
The pathogenesis of calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy) remains to be fully elucidated, which makes treatment of this often fatal disease quite challenging. While controversial, vascular calcium deposition may play a secondary, if not primary, role in ongoing tissue ischemia. In cases that would not benefit from early parathyroidectomy, alternative strategies have been proposed to co...

A 66-year-old female with diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease presented with painful bilateral lower extremity livedo reticularis and necrotic ulcerations. Her distal lower extremity pulses were intact and plethysmographic studies confirmed relatively normal large vessel arterial perfusion. Extensive laboratory analysis was remarkable for an elevated calcium x phosphorous product and ...
متن کاملCalciphylaxis presenting in early chronic kidney disease with mixed hyperparathyroidism
Calciphylaxis is a disabling and life-threatening complication that primarily affects patients who are dialysis dependent. Reports have grown in the literature of cases occurring in those who have advanced chronic kidney disease (pre-end-stage renal disease) or in the setting of transplantation. There are also a few reports of cases occurring in those without any form of chronic kidney disease ...
متن کاملRapid improvement of calciphylaxis after intravenous pamidronate therapy in a patient with chronic renal failure.
Calciphylaxis, also called calcific uraemic arteriolopathy, is a rare disease characterized by medial calcification of the small arteries and ischaemia of the subcutaneous tissue, often leading to necrosis of subcutaneous fat and skin. It affects mainly women with chronic renal insufficiency and/or obesity. According to recent studies, calciphylaxis seems to occur more frequently than previousl...
متن کاملNon-healing painful ulcers in a patient with chronic kidney disease and role of sodium thiosulfate: a case report
INTRODUCTION Calciphylaxis is a rare but dreadful complication of chronic kidney disease. It is characterized by nodular subcutaneous calcification and painful tissue necrosis which often results in ulceration and secondary infection, leading to a high rate of mortality. Pathogenesis of this disease is not well understood and there are very few, poorly studied treatment options for this disease...
