Calciphylaxis in Hemodialysis: A Rare but Life-Threatening Condition
Introduction Calciphylaxis is a rare and life-threatening vascular disorder primarily affecting patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing long-term dialysis. It is characterized by calcific and thrombotic occlusion of small blood vessels, leading to extremely painful necrotic skin lesions. Despite its severity, clear guidelines for treatment are still lacking. A recent case study published in…

“Rare Case of Hemodialysis Catheter Misplacement: Right Internal Mammary Vein Cannulation”
Introduction Central venous catheterization is a critical procedure for patients requiring hemodialysis, but complications can arise even with expert care. In this case, a hemodialysis catheter tip was mistakenly placed in the right internal mammary vein—a rare occurrence. This report highlights the challenges of catheter misplacement, the importance of early detection, and best practices for…

Hypocomplementemic Urticarial Vasculitic Syndrome A Rare Case of Renal Failure
Introduction Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitic syndrome (HUVS) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic urticarial vasculitis, low complement levels, and multi-organ involvement. This condition often presents diagnostic challenges due to its overlapping features with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases. In a recently published case study, a 66-year-old man developed severe renal failure…
