Core Tip |
Calciphylaxis, a rare and life-threatening syndrome characterized by vascular calcification and tissue necrosis, predominantly affects end-stage renal disease patients. This case demonstrates the occurrence of calciphylaxis in a liver transplant recipient, presenting with multi-organ calcifications and hyperbilirubinemia caused by hepatic artery calcification. Early recognition of cutaneous and systemic calcification, combined with the management of metabolic dysregulation, is critical. This report indicates that calciphylaxis may be an unneglectable differential diagnosis for hyperbilirubinemia in transplant recipients and advocates for the development of preventive strategies in high-risk populations. |
