| Popis: | Calciphylaxis (CP) is a serious, potentially life-threatening disease that presents with medial calcification of small-sized vessels and painful ischemic ulcerations. Although calciphylaxis is frequently seen in patients with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy, CUA), there are reported cases of nonuremic calciphylaxis (NUC), which often remain undiagnosed. We conducted a retrospective chart review at our dermatological hospital and evaluated data concerning the epidemiology, comorbidities, medication, laboratory abnormalities, and therapeutic approaches of 60 patients diagnosed with calciphylaxis between 01/2012 and 12/2022. We identified 21 patients diagnosed with NUC and 39 with kidney disease. The predilection sites of skin lesions were the lower legs in 88% (n = 53), followed by the thigh and gluteal regions in 7% (n = 4). Significant differences were identified in comorbidities, such as atrial fibrillation (p |
