Calciphylaxis in a Patient With Lupus Nephritis and Acute Kidney Injury: A Rare Case Report and Literature Review.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and severe disease characterized by calcification, fibrosis, and thrombosis of small blood vessels. Although it primarily affects patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis, limited cases have been reported of calciphylaxis in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and lupus. This case report describes the occurrence of calciphylaxis in a 35-year-old female recently diagnosed with lupus nephritis class IV and AKI requiring dialysis.
