Article Synopsis
- Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), is a serious vascular condition primarily linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can lead to severe skin and tissue complications.
- Diagnosis of CUA is challenging and relies on a high suspicion due to risks associated with biopsy, while imaging often shows extensive calcification in blood vessels, potentially resulting in gangrene.
- The disease is systemic and can affect multiple organs, with this text noting the first documented case involving the penis, bladder, and eyes.
