It mostly affects end‐stage renal disease patients on dialysis. Incidence is in the range of 1:1000 to 1:1500 cases in patients on chronic renal replacement therapy.3 Exceptions have been reported in patients with normal renal function and in association with chronic inflammatory disease, malignancy or primary hyperparathyroidism. Secondary infection of necrotic skin lesions and subsequent sepsis can cause high mortality of up to 80%.
