  • Title: Acral gangrene attributed to calcific azotaemic arteriopathy and the steal effect of an arteriovenous fistula.
    Author: Mactier RA, Stewart WK, Parham DM, Tainsh JA.
    Journal: Nephron; 1990; 54(4):347-50. PubMed ID: 2325802.
    Abstract:
    We describe a young male non-smoker who developed acral gangrene within 4 months of commencing haemodialysis. Amputation of the left hand proximal to the wrist was ultimately required. The onset of peripheral gangrene in this dialysis patient is attributed to calcific azotaemic arteriopathy and the steal effect of an arteriovenous fistula.
