Weight Loss‐Induced Calciphylaxis: Potential Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases

Calciphylaxis is an uncommon and often devastating syndrome of calcification of small vessels, leading to tissue infarction. The mechanism of how calcium deposits on small vessels is unknown. Recently, metalloproteinase digestion of elastin has been shown to enhance deposition of calcium, suggesting...
