Calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) is an often fatal disease that affects patients with end stage renal disease. Although animal studies support a role for metals in the pathogenesis of CUA, metal accumulation in human tissue has not been previously evaluated. To evaluate metal deposition in CUA. Twelve histologically proven cases of CUA were identified from the UAMS dermatopathology database. Five skin biopsies from chronic kidney disease patients exposed to gadolinium contrast but without CUA were used as controls. Quantification of metals including iron, aluminum and gadolinium in the lesional skin was performed using inductively coupled mass spectrometry. Seven patients had documented exposure to gadolinium-based contrast in the preceding 2 years before CUA. Three of them had concurrent nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. Highly significant quantities of iron (p=0.03), and aluminum (p=0.0002) were detected in CUA specimens compared to controls. Significant amounts of gadolinium were present in several CUA biopsies. Observational, retrospective study design and small sample size. Tissue iron and aluminum content is increased in CUA. A significant amount of gadolinium is also present in some CUA specimens. Based on animal studies which strongly implicate metals in the pathogenesis of CUA, our data suggest that metal deposition should be considered in the pathogenesis of human CUA.
