2. 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 ...

3. Dystrophic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystrophic_calcification

   Calcinosis cutis is condition in which there are irregular nodular deposits of calcium salts in skin and subcutaneous tissue. Senile degenerative changes may be accompanied by calcification. The inherited disorder pseudoxanthoma elasticum may lead to angioid streaks with calcification of Bruch's membrane, the elastic tissue below the retinal ring.

4. Vitamin K2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_K2

   Vitamin K2 may have a protective effect on bone mineral density and reduced risk of hip, vertebral and non-vertebral fractures. [11] These effects appear to be accentuated when combined with vitamin D and in the setting of osteoporosis. [1] Research suggests that vitamin K 2 (Menaquinone 7, MK-7]) may reduce the rate and severity of night time ...

5. 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 ...

6. Metastatic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastatic_calcification

   Metastatic calcification is deposition of calcium salts in otherwise normal tissue, because of elevated serum levels of calcium, [1] which can occur because of deranged metabolism as well as increased absorption or decreased excretion of calcium and related minerals, as seen in hyperparathyroidism.

7. Ectopic calcification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_calcification

   Ectopic calcification is a pathologic deposition of calcium salts in tissues or bone growth in soft tissues.This can be a symptom of hyperphosphatemia.Formation of osseous tissue in soft tissues such as the lungs, eyes, arteries, or other organs is known as ectopic calcification, dystrophic calcification, or ectopic ossification.

9. Calcium metabolism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_metabolism

   Calcium metabolism is the movement and regulation of calcium ions (Ca 2+) in (via the gut) and out (via the gut and kidneys) of the body, and between body compartments: the blood plasma, the extracellular and intracellular fluids, and bone. Bone acts as a calcium storage center for deposits and withdrawals as needed by the blood via continual ...
