ABSTRACT

Calciphylaxis is a condition caused by the ischemia and necrosis of dermis and subcutaneous tissue in patients undergoing dialysis due to chronic kidney disease. It is clinically characterized by chronic, painful-non healing ulcers. The prognosis is rather bleak. In this article, we present the case and evolution of a 58 year old, female patient with the diagnosis of calciphylaxis secondary to chronic kidney disease.
