Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (calciphylaxis) is a rare, painful condition in ESRD patients causing skin lesions and tissue ischemia. While typically affecting proximal areas, distal sites, including the penis, can also be involved. We present a 55-year-old male with ESRD who developed calciphylaxis in the fingers, toes, and penis months after a kidney transplant. Despite treatment with sodium thiosulfate and hemodialysis, his condition worsened, requiring toe amputation and management of recurrent infections. This case highlights the severity of calciphylaxis, especially post-transplant, and the need for prompt diagnosis and aggressive management.
钙化性尿毒症性小动脉病(钙化防御)是终末期肾病患者中一种罕见的、引起疼痛的病症,会导致皮肤病变和组织缺血。虽然通常影响近端部位,但包括阴茎在内的远端部位也可能受累。我们报告一名55岁的终末期肾病男性患者,在肾移植数月后手指、脚趾和阴茎出现了钙化防御。尽管接受了硫代硫酸钠治疗和血液透析,他的病情仍恶化,需要进行脚趾截肢并处理反复感染。该病例突出了钙化防御的严重性,尤其是移植后,以及及时诊断和积极治疗的必要性。
