Abstract
Calciphylaxis is an uncommon but life-threatening syndrome in end-stage kidney disease, characterised by painful medial and intimal calcification of the arterioles in the deep dermis and subcutaneous tissues. Intravenous sodium thiosulfate serves as an off-label but effective treatment in haemodialysis patients. However, this approach confers considerable logistical challenges for affected peritoneal dialysis patients. In this case series, we demonstrate that intraperitoneal administration can be a safe, convenient and long-term alternative.
