Nonuremic calciphylaxis secondary to IgA nephropathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Of the proposed causes and associations of nonuremic calciphylaxis, IgA is not included. We encountered a 60-year-old Hispanic female with stage III chronic kidney disease secondary to IgA nephropathy, who presented with a painful abdominal eschar. The diagnosis of nonuremic calciphylaxis was made, with IgA nephropathy being the most interesting potential cause. Our case represents the first report of nonuremic calciphylaxis in a patient with IgA nephropathy, prompting us to propose a relationship that is independent of uremia.
