Abstract

BACKGROUND: Calciphylaxis is not uniquely observed in uraemic patients, as some cases have also been reported in patients with normal renal function or moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD), in association with severe vasculopathy or systemic inflammation. A particular subset worthy of studying is represented by those patients who develop calciphylaxis after kidney transplantation (KT).
