Study summary

The national drug safety agency authorizes nominatively the use of sodium thiosulfate in dialysis patients with calciphylaxis. To date, it is the largest global cohort (more 600 patients from 2012 to 2016). We wanted to study retrospectively the fate of these patients at 6 months including mortality. Early use improves effectiveness.
