Abstract
Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), is typically characterized by subcutaneous tissue calcification and excruciatingly painful cutaneous lesions with high mortality. It is critical for dermatologists to make early diagnosis and appropriate management, yet currently only 56% of calciphylaxis cases are correctly diagnosed by conventional histological stain1. Specially, the identification of subtle calcium deposits of subcutaneous can be challenging but is believed crucial for early diagnosis of calciphylaxis2. More sensitive calcification staining is in high demand. In this study, Fluo-3 AM was found to be a rapid, sensitive and reliable fluorescent probe for the detection of calcium deposits and could be a promising diagnostic tool for calciphylaxis.
