Are there different types of calciphylaxis?

Calciphylaxis has two types based on when they happen.

• Uremic (you-reem-ick). This type is the more common of the two. This typically happens in people who have end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
• Non-uremic. This type is rarer and happens in people who have earlier stages of kidney disease, who have a recent injury to one or both kidneys or who don't have kidney problems at all.
