Calciphylaxis: A Long Road to Cure with a Multidisciplinary and Multimodal Approach

Abstract: Calciphylaxis is a rare yet potentially fatal condition, resulting from ectopic calcification of the small arterioles of the dermis with resulting necrotic lesions infection, sepsis, and death. In hemodialysis patients, its prevalence ranges between 1 and 4%, while mortality amounts to 30–80%. We present in here a 45-year-old female on chronic dialysis with morbid obesity, who was admitted for painful nodules in the lower abdomen and necrotic lesions at the lower extremities. Severe uremia and uncontrolled sec… Show more

“…Key components include targeting phosphorus control to maintain levels below 5.5 mg/dL, optimizing dialysis for the clearance of uremic molecules and improving bone-mineral markers, ensuring appropriate vascular access, managing phosphate levels, addressing hyperparathyroidism, and mitigating vascular calcification. Close monitoring and coordination among healthcare providers are crucial for optimizing outcomes in patients with this challenging condition [14].…”

“…Como inhibidores eficaces de la calcificación se están administrando hace unos años, tiosulfato de sodio y biofosfona-tos 1, [11][12][13] . La mayoría de los estudios sugieren aumentar las sesiones de HD 4,11,14,15 y modificar el baño de 3 meq a 2,5 meq de Ca 4,11 ó a 1,5 meq 15 , en nuestro caso no fue necesario modificar el Ca y se aumentó la frecuencia a diálisis diarias durante 8 días. El P se normalizó tras iniciar tratamiento • Escala Likert (de nunca a siempre demostrado).…”

“…Esto incita a la transformación de las células del músculo liso vascular en células similares a los osteoblastos 3 . Afecta principalmente a los pacientes en hemodiálisis (HD) con una tasa de incidencia de 0,04% en Europa, aunque también puede afectar a pacientes con función renal normal 4 . Otros factores de riesgo además del tiempo en terapia sustitutiva renal, es el sexo femenino, la diabetes mellitus, la raza caucásica y la inflamación crónica; y como factores modificables destacarían la obesidad, la desnutrición, la hiperfosforemia, el hiper o hipoparatiroidismo, la anticoagulación con antagonistas de la vitamina K y el estado de hipercoagulabilidad 1 .…”
