Calciphylaxis on diabetic patient; is it related?

Not directly: Calciphylaxis can occur in the setting of kidney problems (renal failure), abnormal calcium-phosphate regulation, and hyperparathyroidism, but the actual cause still remains unclear. Having diabetes may increase the risk for calciphylaxis. Also trauma to fatty tissue from Insulin injections may be a separate risk factor.

Dialysis?: Most frequently associated. With chronic dialysis but can occur with renal failure including diabetic as well as other causes of abnormal calcium metabolism including abnormal parathyroid gland function.
