Overview

Calciphylaxis (CUA – calcifying uremic arteriolopathy) is a serious clinical complications characterized by large and painful skin and subcutaneous tissue ulcerations and necrosis, associated with the risk of sepsis and mortality. Its pathogenesis is quite complicated. Despite it is a rare entity, physicians of all specialities may meet this disease. Therefore, this paper focuses on principal characteristics of CUA, risk factors in pathogenesis (namely calcium and phosphate metabolism disturbances, hyperparathyroidism, and association with warfarin therapy), as well as on therapeutics principles and possibilities. The most promising current therapy approach is administration of sodium thiosulfate. Three case reports are presented for illustration.

Keywords:

warfarin – calcifying uremic arteriolopathy – calciphylaxis – hyperparathyroidism – matrix GLA mortality protein – sepsis – skin necrosis – sodium thiosulfate – surgical parathyroidectomy
