Calciphylaxis
CAUSES
The blood vessels of a patient with Calciphylaxis become calcified, causing blood to clot. This leads to skin death (necrosis). Although the cause of this disease is not properly understood, its occurrences are highly correlated with kidney transplants and chronic kidney failures. (Dermnet) However, this disease is not limited to only patients with kidney maladies. (Wikipedia)
