“…However, calciphylaxis can also occur in patients without kidney involvement or disorders of calcium and phosphorus metabolism (ie, non‐uremic calciphylaxis). Some pathological states and diseases including obesity, 11 rapid weight loss, 12 hypoalbuminemia, 13 hypercoagulability, 14 hyperparathyroidism, pneumonia, 15 autoimmune diseases, 16 diabetes, 17 liver diseases 18 and tumours, 5 or specific drug use 19 , 20 may contribute to the development of calciphylaxis.…”

Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriopathy, is a rare calcification syndrome that presents as ischemic skin necrosis and severe pain. It has a high mortality rate and is characterised by calcification of the small and medium arteries and micro‐thrombosis. Calciphylaxis mainly occurs in patients with end‐stage renal disease. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of cases of calciphylaxis associated with connective tissue diseases. Given the absence of clear diagnostic criteria for calciphylaxis thus far, an early diagnosis is crucial for designing an effective multidisciplinary treatment plan. In this article, we review the research progress on calciphylaxis and describe its characteristics in the context of connective tissue diseases.
