Ulcer in a dialysis patient: Calciphylaxis or something simpler

Abstract

Abstract Ulcers in dialysis patients have multiple etiologies; uremic pruritis is common in dialysis patients and is associated with poor outcomes; however, it is more likely to be underdiagnosed as we usually think about more serious etiologies as calciphylaxis. Here, we present a case where uremic pruritis was the leading diagnosis.
