MENDOZA PANTA, Diego Alexander; HUERTAS GARZON, Jorge Washington  e  OSORIO CHUQUITARCO, Washington Xavier. Calcifilaxis in renal substitution therapy. Rev. colom. nefrol. [online]. 2019, vol.6, n.1, pp.69-73. ISSN 2500-5006.  https://doi.org/10.22265/acnef.6.1.327.

Calciphylaxis is one of the less common complications of Chronic Advanced Kidney Disease, especially in renal replacement therapy, the exact pathophysiology of its appearance is unknown, but it is believed that it is due to an alteration in bone-mineral metabolism. We describe a clinical case of a patient with chronic kidney disease, who presented as a serious complication calciphylaxis, reaching this diagnosis thanks to the characteristic images of this pathology taken from the bank of the Hospital's imaging service. In conclusion, calciphylaxis, despite being a pathology difficult to find nowadays due to better control of bone-mineral metabolism, should be considered especially in those patients with rapid progression of renal disease and presence of suppurative calcified lesions in extremities.
