- Patients with calciphylaxis face diagnostic delays, especially those with nonnephrogenic forms and finger lesions, while those with arm and genitalia involvement have shorter delays.

- *Updated mortality rates show improvements, with one-year mortality at 36.70% for nephrogenic and 30.77% for nonnephrogenic calciphylaxis, underscoring the need for better awareness for early diagnosis.*
Serpentine supravenous hyperpigmentation (SSH) describes increased skin pigmentation that develops in the area immediately overlying the vessels through which chemotherapeutic drugs are administered.
