Calcific uremic arteriolopathy is a rare, life-threatening syndrome of vascular calcification characterized by occlusion of microvessels that results in extremely painful skin necrosis. We present a case of sarcoidosis-associated hypercalcemia potentiating calcific uremic arteriolopathy in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. The patient's calcific uremic arteriolopathy was successfully treated with sodium thiosulfate. Clinicians should be vigilant in diagnosing calcific uremic arteriolopathy early since it is especially life-threatening in patients with multiple risk factors.
钙化性尿毒症性小动脉病是一种罕见的、危及生命的血管钙化综合征,其特征是微血管闭塞,导致极其疼痛的皮肤坏死。我们报告一例患有左心室辅助装置的患者,结节病相关的高钙血症加重了钙化性尿毒症性小动脉病。该患者的钙化性尿毒症性小动脉病经硫代硫酸钠治疗成功。临床医生应警惕早期诊断钙化性尿毒症性小动脉病,因为它在具有多种危险因素的患者中尤其危及生命。
