Calciphylaxis is an uncommon but life-threatening syndrome in end-stage kidney disease, characterised by painful medial and intimal calcification of the arterioles in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissues. Intravenous sodium thiosulfate serves as an off-label but effective treatment in haemodialysis patients. However, this approach confers considerable logistical challenges for affected peritoneal dialysis patients. In this case series, we demonstrate that intraperitoneal administration can be a safe, convenient and long-term alternative.
钙化防御是一种发生于终末期肾病的罕见但危及生命的综合征,其特征为真皮深部和皮下组织中小动脉的中层和内膜钙化伴疼痛。静脉注射硫代硫酸钠是血液透析患者的一种超适应证但有效的治疗方法。然而,对于受影响的腹膜透析患者,这种方法带来了相当大的后勤挑战。在本病例系列中,我们证明了腹腔内给药是一种安全、方便且长期的替代方法。
