Cardiovascular complications in a child with chronic renal failure
We describe a case 11 year-old boy, in which a chronic renal disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism was treated by dyalisis, calcitriol, and calcium supplementation. He developed dyslipidemia, calcified lesions with thrombus formation in several organs and vessels. Necropsy findings showed ischemic cerebral necrosis, calcification in arteries including coronaries, and myocardial infarction.
