  • Title: Metastatic pulmonary calcification in chronic renal failure.
    Author: Madhusudhan KS, Shad PS, Sharma S, Goel A, Mahajan H.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 2012 Aug; 44(4):1285-7. PubMed ID: 21779916.
    Abstract:
    Metastatic pulmonary calcification can be caused by a number of diseases, most common being end-stage renal disease. Most of the patients are asymptomatic, and imaging with computed tomography is useful in making a diagnosis. Demonstration of pulmonary and chest wall vessel calcification is characteristic. We report a case of a 60-year-old patient with chronic renal failure on dialysis, presenting with gradual onset dyspnea, who showed metastatic pulmonary calcification on chest imaging.
