  • Title: Calciphylaxis in the absence of renal failure and hyperparathyroidism in a nonagenarian.
    Author: Chan SQ, Wagner I, Vittor GS.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2015 Apr 15; 2015():. PubMed ID: 25878225.
    Abstract:
    Calciphylaxis is a rare, potentially life-threatening syndrome of progressive cutaneous necrosis from calcium deposition. It is well described in uraemic diseases. However, its mechanism is poorly understood and information on non-uraemic causes is lacking. This is the first report of a biopsy-proven non-uraemic calciphylaxis in a nonagenarian.
