Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA), a condition associated with high mortality, is most common among patients on dialysis. In this opinion article, Georg Schlieper and his colleagues discuss the evidence on the efficacy of administering sodium thiosulfate in the treatment of CUA. Given the lack of large clinical trials, the authors also evaluate the consultation of internet-accessible CUA case registries as a strategy to inform the treatment of this disease and to design future studies.
