🔰It is a disease in which blood vessels(veins and arteries) become blocked by a build-up of calcium in the walls of the vessels, preventing blood from flowing to the skin or internal organs.
🔰 The lack of blood flow (ischemia) damages healthy tissue and causes it to die (necrosis).
🔰The most obvious and frequent symptom of calciphylaxis is damage to the skin, as ulcers can develop and become infected easily.
🔰 Calciphylaxis can also affect fat tissue, internal organs, and skeletal muscle, causing infections, pain, and organ failure.
🔰 These symptoms are often irreversible, and many individuals with calciphylaxis may not survive more than a few months after they are diagnosed due to infection that spreads throughout the body (sepsis), or organ failure.
🔰The exact cause of calciphylaxis is unknown
🔰Treatments may include medications to reduce pain, antibiotics to treat infections, and various approaches to preventing the development or worsening of this condition.
