Background: Calcific uremic arteriolopathy is an uncommon cutaneous ischemic necrotizing disease, most commonly associated with renal disease and hyperparathyroidism, bearing a high mortality rate.

Objective And Method: A case of a 57-year-old female renal patient with hyperparathyroidism who was successfully treated with combined paricalcitol and cinacalcet systemically, while autologous growth factors were locally applied, is herein presented.

Result And Conclusion: The combination of cinacalcet and paricalcitol is a reliable alternative to parathyroidectomy in patients with calcific uremic arteriolopathy and hyperparathyroidism. Meticulous débridement of necrotic tissues is essential and application of autologous growth factors promotes healing.
