Calciphylaxis in end-stage kidney disease: outcome data from the United Kingdom Calciphylaxis Study.
CONCLUSIONS: This UK wide study strengthens the evidence that calciphylaxis is a strong and independent risk factor associated with all-cause mortality; no significant benefit was shown with any individual treatment modality. Until further evidence becomes available, a multifaceted approach would be the appropriate treatment strategy in the management of this extremely serious condition.
