  2. Nephrocalcinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrocalcinosis

    Nephrocalcinosis, once known as Albright's calcinosis after Fuller Albright, is a term originally used to describe the deposition of poorly soluble calcium salts in the renal parenchyma due to hyperparathyroidism. The term nephrocalcinosis is used to describe the deposition of both calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. [1]

  3. Dystrophic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophic_calcification

    In dystrophic calcification, basophilic calcium salt deposits aggregate, first in the mitochondria, then progressively throughout the cell. [citation needed] These calcifications are an indication of previous microscopic cell injury, occurring in areas of cell necrosis when activated phosphatases bind calcium ions to phospholipids in the membrane.

  4. Calciphylaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calciphylaxis

    Calciphylaxis, also known as calcific uremic arteriolopathy (CUA) or “Grey Scale”, is a rare syndrome characterized by painful skin lesions.The pathogenesis of calciphylaxis is unclear but believed to involve calcification of the small blood vessels located within the fatty tissue and deeper layers of the skin, blood clots, and eventual death of skin cells due to lack of blood flow. [1]

  5. Calcinosis cutis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcinosis_cutis

    Metastatic calcinosis cutis is the consequence of calcium salts precipitating in normal tissue due to an underlying abnormality in the metabolism of phosphate and/or calcium. [2] Metastatic calcification can result from any systemic condition raising serum calcium and/or phosphate levels. Chronic renal failure is the most frequent underlying ...

  6. Tumoral calcinosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumoral_calcinosis

    The name indicates calcinosis (calcium deposition) which resembles tumor (like a new growth). They are not true neoplasms – they don't have dividing cells. They are just deposition of inorganic calcium with serum exudate. Children and adolescents (6 to 25 years) are the most commonly affected.

  7. Calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcification

    Calcification of soft tissue (arteries, cartilage, heart valves, [1] [2] etc.) can be caused by vitamin K 2 deficiency or by poor calcium absorption due to a high calcium/vitamin D ratio. This can occur with or without a mineral imbalance. A common misconception is that calcification is caused by excess amount of calcium in diet. Dietary ...

  9. Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monckeberg's_arteriosclerosis

    This study found that 25% of participants, with a mean age of 38 years (ranging from 14 to 59 years), had Monckeberg's calcification without any cardiovascular disease risk factors. This indicates that Monckeberg's calcification may develop early in life, potentially due to abnormal osteogenic differentiation of vascular progenitor cells .
