La calcifilaxis es una compleja enfermedad que se desencadena debido al desequilibrio e interacción entre diferentes condiciones y variables, la mayoría de ellas presentes en pacientes con enfermedad renal avanzada, aunque no exclusivamente. Y se caracteriza por la aparición de lesiones subcutáneas que evolucionarán hacia úlceras necróticas muy dolorosas. Se presentan datos de 4 pacientes con calcifilaxis, todas mujeres, con una edad media de 67,2 años con enfermedad renal en tratamiento con hemodiálisis o diálisis peritoneal. Las lesiones de todas ellas cursaron con úlcera necrótica, así como también se pudieron apreciar áreas de lívedo y lesiones nodulares. Se confirmó el diagnóstico mediante biopsia en todos los casos. Se aplicó cura en ambiente húmedo y desbridamiento cortante en todas las pacientes. En uno de los casos se incluyó desbridamiento quirúrgico y terapia de presión negativa. La evolución fue mala, se produjo el fallecimiento de todas las pacientes en un tiempo medio desde el diagnóstico de 1,3 meses. A pesar de las incertidumbres que plantea la calcifilaxis en cuanto a su patogenia, diagnóstico, tratamiento y evolución, parece necesario establecer pilares centrales en el tratamiento de las heridas que inevitablemente cada paciente sufrirá, fijando como prioridades fundamentales la prevención de la infección, el manejo del dolor y el confort.
Calciphylaxis is a complex disease that is triggered due to the imbalance and interaction between different conditions and variables, most of them present in patients with advanced kidney disease, although not exclusively. And it is characterized by the appearance of subcutaneous lesions that will evolve towards very painful necrotic ulcers. We present data from 4 patients with calciphylaxis, all women, with a mean age of 67.2 years with renal disease undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. The lesions of all of them occurred with necrotic ulcer, as well as areas of livers and nodular lesions. The diagnosis was confirmed by biopsy in all cases. Cure in wet environment and cutting debridement in all patients. In one case, surgical debridement and negative pressure therapy were included. The evolution was poor, the death of all patients occurred in an average time since the diagnosis of 1.3 months. Despite the uncertainties of calciphylaxis in terms of its pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and evolution, it seems necessary to establish central pillars in the treatment of the wounds that each patient will inevitably suffer, setting as a priority the prevention of infection, management pain and comfort.
