Metastatic Calcification and Calciphylaxis in a Hemodialysis Patient
Main Article Content
Abstract
While metastatic calcifications are frequently observed in patients treated with dialysis, calciphylaxis remains as a rare but a life-threatening complication. Calciphylaxis results in tissue ischemia and necrosis and is highly progressive. In this case, we report a rapidly progressing calciphylaxis case as well as pointing to the significance of early diagnosis and treatment and the need for a multidisciplinary approach.
