4. Blood Clotting
It is essential that the blood is able to pass freely through the body at all times. If the flow was to be impeded, then valuable supplies might be prevented from being taken to where they are needed. One of the key symptoms in patients with calciphylaxis is that the blood can begin to clot.
The blood clots can cause the death of cells in the body, while the death of cells in the body can also contribute to blood clots. Severe clots can even lead to potentially deadly scenarios such as strokes and heart attacks. Blood clots should always be taken seriously regardless of the suspected cause.
