Recurrent Inflammatory State due to Severe Periarticular Calcifications in a Patient on Hemodialysis: A Case Report
This report highlights a severe manifestation of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) in a hemodialysis patient: periarticular calcifications causing recurrent inflammation mimicking infection. Diagnostics excluded infections and autoimmune disorders, identifying CKD-MBD as the cause. Low-dose prednisolone effectively mitigated inflammation, reducing hospitalizations.
