Abstract

Calciphylaxis is a rare condition affecting patients suffering from end-stage renal failure, characterised by cutaneous ischaemia and necrosis. The management of calciphylaxis is challenging owing to the lack of optimal medical therapy, although parathyroidectomy has shown some benefit. We present a case of severe proximal calciphylaxis treated with a small dose of the calcimimetic 'Cinacalcet'. © The Author [2007]. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of ERA-EDTA.
