Abstract

Background: Calciphylaxis following acute renal failure is rare.

Findings: We report A 57-year-old male with an acute renal failure associated with necrotizing fasciitis. We also review the cases of calciphylaxis due to acute renal disorder further.

Conclusions: It should be kept in mind that calciphylaxis is observed in patient with not only chronic renal disease but also acute renal failure.

Keywords: Acute renal injury; Calciphylaxis; Literature review.
