| Core Tip |
In this case report, we present a patient with alcoholic liver disease and low levels of Protein C who developed calciphylaxis and died shortly after due to complications. The pathogenesis is not completely understood but the disruption of calcium-phosphate-byproduct has been implicated to play a role in the disease process. Liver dysfunction can lead to low levels of coagulation inhibitors specifically Protein C and Protein S. The aim of the medical treatment is to lower the calcium-phosphate-byproduct and decrease the vascular calcification. The use of surgical wound debridement is less established. |
