Complete resolution of calciphylaxis after kidney transplantation.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2013 July
Calciphylaxis, a life-threatening and disabling complication in patients with end-stage renal disease, occurs most frequently in those treated with maintenance dialysis, whether it be hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The impact of kidney transplantation on calciphylaxis lesions is not clear. The general consensus is to treat calciphylaxis adequately prior to transplantation with either medical therapy or parathyroidectomy, as indicated. We describe the case of a patient on peritoneal dialysis therapy who had severe calciphylaxis lesions that failed to resolve upon pretransplantation medical treatment and that then resolved after kidney transplantation.
