This results in necrotic, ischemic, tender dermal lesions anywhere in the body, but mainly on the abdominal wall and lower extremities, where subcutaneous tissue is abundant. Histologically, it is defined by calcification in dermal capillaries, arterioles, and subcutaneous adipose tissues. It can occur in all advanced stages of chronic kidney disease as well as end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Our case highlights a successful case of calciphylaxis in a young female patient who underwent parathyroidectomy and intensification of peritoneal dialysis regimen along with the infusion of sodium thiosulphate injection resulting in complete resolution of the lesion in 3 months. With limited evidence of treatment options and increased frequency of this condition in a dialysis patient, our case highlights the key aspects of calciphylaxis management in a young end-stage renal disease patient who didn\u2019t need a change of dialysis modality. We also review the risk factors and current practiced management options of this condition in our article.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23247096211060580","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T15:39:49Z","timestamp":1638286789000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Successful Treatment of Calciphylaxis in a Young Female With End-Stage Renal Disease on Peritoneal Dialysis With Parathyroidectomy, Intensification of Dialysis, and Sodium Thiosulphate\u2014A Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2509-3915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sasmit","family":"Roy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3746-6424","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sohil Narasimha","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amarinder Singh","family":"Garcha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kaweah Delta Medical Center, Visalia, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Praveena","family":"Vantipalli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Nebraska Omaha, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit S","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adventis Health, Hanford, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4743-5680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ebad","family":"Ur Rahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Mary\u2019s Medical Center, Huntington, WV, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5608-5654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sreedhar","family":"Adapa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kaweah Delta Medical Center, Visalia, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/IJNRD.S115701"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfv438."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-014-2910-1."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocp.2016.06.025."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.134.3493.1876."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4061\/2011\/982854"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1755.2002.00375.x."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaad.2006.08.065."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2015.01.034"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ndt\/gfn036"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","first-page":"171","article-title":"Association between calciphylaxis and inflammation in two patients on chronic dialysis","volume":"22","author":"Slough S","year":"2006","unstructured":"Slough S, Servilla KS, Harford AM, Konstantinov KN, Harris A, Tzamaloukas AH.
