Non-chronic kidney disease-induced calciphylaxis: a rare case report.

Calciphylaxis is a disorder causing ischemic skin necrosis, typically associated with end-stage renal disease or those receiving dialysis. Occurrence is rare in those without end-stage renal disease, and treatment options are limited. This case report describes a patient with calciphylaxis without end-stage renal disease or history of dialysis. Treatment with sodium thiosulfate, a first line option, had to be stopped due to metabolic derangements, limiting the healing process. Diagnosis and treatment of this rare disorder are important to prevent further complications that may result.
