Citric acid is more effective than sodium thiosulfate in chelating calcium in a dissolution model of calcinosis

Abstract Calcinosis cutis affects 20–40% of patients with systemic sclerosis. This study tests the hypothesis that calcium-chelating polycarboxylic acids can induce calcium dissolution without skin toxicity or irritancy. We compared citric acid (CA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to sodi...
