  • Title: Calciphylaxis associated with acute, reversible renal failure in the setting of alcoholic cirrhosis.
    Author: Chavel SM, Taraszka KS, Schaffer JV, Lazova R, Schechner JS.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2004 May; 50(5 Suppl):S125-8. PubMed ID: 15097947.
    Abstract:
    We describe a case of calciphylaxis in a 47-year-old man with alcohol-induced end-stage liver disease and acute renal failure secondary to hepatorenal syndrome. Possible contributing factors included transiently impaired renal function, protein C and S deficiencies, elevated calcium-phosphate product, hyperphosphatemia, low serum albumin, repeated albumin infusions, and elevated alkaline phosphatase level.
