• Skin Ulcer

  The clinical syndrome of calciphylaxis is characterized by arteriolar medial calcification, thrombotic cutaneous ischemia, necrotic skin ulceration, and a high mortality rate. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Erythema

  Cutaneous calcific uremic arteriolopathy is more frequent and clinically presents as a first phase of cutaneous hardening and erythema, followed by a second phase of ulcerations and scars; these two phases are probably associated with the initial development [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Calciphylaxis is a rare syndrome of vascular calcification with thrombosis that occurs most often in patients with end-stage renal disease, and it frequently portends a guarded prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It is most often seen in patients with renal failure among many other occasionally reported etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
