Abstract: Calciphylaxis is a vascular disease caused by a combination of multiple factors, and the calcified ischemic lesion results in the severe skin damage accompanied by unbearable pain. Calciphylaxis tends to occur in patients with end-stage renal disease, and the treatment of this disease faces enormous challenges. Current treatment recommendations are mainly based on clinical experience and observational research reports, and there is still a lack of clinical practice standards or consensus for managing calciphylaxis. Therefore, this paper will review the effective treatment methods and off-label use of calciphylaxis based on literature reports, providing reference for the clinical treatment of the disease.
