Comparison of biochemical profile of subjects with calciphylaxis at diagnosis and within 6 months after the diagnosis.

Test	At diagnosis	3 to 6 months after diagnosis	P value
Calcium (mmol/L)	2.3 ± 0.2	2.4 ± 0.2	NS
Phosphate (mmol/L)	2.0 ± 0.8	1.8 ± 1.0	NS
Ca × P (mmol/L)	4.5 ± 1.0	4.2 ± 1.8	NS
PTH (pmol/L)	80 ± 53	21 ± 17	<0.05
Albumin (g/L)	28 ± 7	26 ± 9	NS

SD: standard deviation, Ca × P: calcium-phosphate product, PTH: parathyroid hormone, NS: not significant.
