Overview

There is no diagnostic test for calciphylaxis. The diagnosis is a clinical one.

History and Symptoms

The characteristic lesions are the ischaemic skin lesions (usually with areas of skin necrosis). They should alert the physician or nurse.

The necrotic skin lesions (i.e., the dying or already dead skin areas) typically appear as violaceous (dark bluish purple) lesions and/or completely black leathery lesions. They can be extensive.
