Imagine going in for a diagnostic MRI scan and coming out with a progressive, irreversible, and potentially fatal disease. It certainly doesn't help matters that the disease has been linked to gadolinium-based contrast agents, a ubiquitous tool in the MR armamentarium. In 2006 the U.S. Louis hospital.

The degree of elevation does not predict disease severity. CRP concentration rise and fall quicker than ESR, often used to guide treatment Blood Cultures – an important element in management and treatment Blood culture positivity often decides whether a patient will require a bone biopsy. ESR and CRP are sensitive, yet not specific.

Technetium-99m (Tc-99m) methyl diphosphonate (MDP) bone scans are a potentially viable noninvasive option for diagnosing calciphylaxis, according to a team at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester, MA. The team assessed the potential diagnostic utility of bone scans in calciphylaxis based on a review of the literature.
