Article Synopsis
- - A young man with severe symptomatic tumoral calcinosis developed it due to end-stage kidney disease caused by a specific type of vasculitis and had high phosphate levels while on peritoneal dialysis.
- - Treatment included intravenous sodium thiosulfate, increased hemodialysis frequency, and nutritional support during dialysis, leading to significant size reduction of calcified masses and pain relief over three months.
- - After the treatment improvements, the patient successfully received a living donor kidney transplant.
