Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Oxalosis is a disease caused by the deposition of calcium oxalate in extrarenal tissues, most commonly bone, myocardium, retina, blood vessels, and skin, causing the clinical manifestations of the disease. Involvement of the blood vessels of the skin can give rise to livedo reticularis, acrocyanosis, ulcers, and gangrene. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of recurrent renal lithiasis that had led to terminal renal failure requiring hemodialysis and, subsequently, peritoneal dialysis. The patient developed tender red-violaceous skin discoloration of sudden onset, consistent with livedo reticularis; the lesions progressed to form ulcers. Skin biopsy revealed oxalate vasculopathy. In this article we describe the characteristics of this rare disorder, its differentiation from calciphylaxis, and the therapeutic options. La oxalosis es una enfermedad derivada del depósito de oxalato cálcico fuera del aparato urinario. Los lugares de depósito extrarrenales más frecuentes incluyen el hueso, el miocardio, la retina, los vasos sanguíneos y la piel, lo que da lugar a las manifestaciones clínicas de esta enfermedad. En la piel las alteraciones pueden deberse a la afectación de los vasos sanguíneos, lo que da lugar a la aparición de cuadros de livedo reticularis, acrocianosis, úlceras y gangrena. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 60 años con historia de litiasis renal recidivante, que le llevó a una insuficiencia renal terminal que requirió hemodiálisis y posteriormente diálisis peritoneal. La paciente desarrolló de forma súbita la aparición de elementos cutáneos de color rojo-violáceo, dolorosos a la palpación compatibles con livedo reticularis que evolucionaron a úlceras. La biopsia cutánea reveló una vasculopatía por oxalato. En este artículo se describen las características de este raro proceso, su diagnóstico diferencial con la calcifilaxis y las alternativas terapéuticas.
