Calcinosis Deposition of calcium salts in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or other part of the body in certain pathologic conditions. calcification, the deposit of calcium salts in tissues and organs that do not normally contain them in undissolved form.nterstitial calcinosis (calcium gout) is distinguished by the fact that there is no depletion of calcium in the bones and no excess concentration of calcium in the blood. The depositing of lime occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissues or may spread to the muscles and other tissues.

Notably, other causes of pancreatitis, including gallstones, drugs, trauma, and viruses, do not characteristically cause pancreatic calcifications.

Media Calcification and Intima Calcification Are Distinct Entities in Chronic Kidney Disease Vascular calcification is a pathologic process that occurs in response to dysregulated or inappropriate environmental stimuli (e.g., advancing age, atherosclerosis, certain metabolic disorders [e.g., CKD, diabetes, chronic inflammatory disease such as systemic lupus erythematosus and other rheumatic diseases]) and in rare genetic diseases (e.g., Keutel syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by abnormal cartilage calcification) (1,2).

Bronchiectasis Practice Essentials. Bronchiectasis is an uncommon disease, most often secondary to an infectious process, that results in the abnormal and permanent distortion of one or more of the conducting bronchi or airways. In 1950, Reid characterized bronchiectasis as cylindrical, cystic, or varicose in nature.ractice Essentials.

Calciphylaxis Calciphylaxis Definition. It is a rare but very serious disease which causes calcium to accumulate in the small blood vessels of skin tissues and fat. It is characterized by thrombosis, vascular calcification and skin necrosis. The condition is almost exclusive in people suffering from Stage 5 Chronic Renal Disease or End Stage Renal Disease.

- Nephrocalcinosis may eventually result in acute obstructive uropathy or chronic obstructive uropathy, leading to eventual kidney failure. The disorder is often discovered when symptoms of renal insufficiency/renal failure, obstructive uropathy, or urinary tract stones develop.ther causes include hyperparathyroidism, sarcoidosis, oxalosis, papillary necrosis, chronic glomerulonephritis, transplant rejection, and trauma. Medications can cause calcinosis with acetazolamide, amphotericin B, and triamterene commonly implicated.

Calcinosis cutis Calcinosis cutis. Calcinosis cutis (or cutaneous calcification) is a type of calcinosis wherein calcium deposits form in the skin. A variety of factors can result in this condition. The most common source is dystrophic calcification, which occurs in soft tissue as a response to injury.

CREST syndrome CREST syndrome. CREST syndrome, also known as the limited cutaneous form of systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) is a multisystem connective tissue disorder. The acronym CREST refers to the five main features: calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia.

Idiopathic calcinosis of scrotum, penis, or vulva: Calcification may occur after trauma, or it may occur in the absence of known tissue injury.ransplant-associated calcinosis cutis: In addition to calciphylaxis, numerous cases of calcinosis cutis have been described in transplant recipients. Although calcinosis cutis appears to be most common after renal transplantation, it is also described in liver, heart, and lung transplantation.

Calcinosis Cutis Mortality/Morbidity. Calcinosis cutis generally is a benign process. When present, morbidity is related to the size and location of the calcification. Lesions may become painful, limit mobility of an adjacent joint, or compress adjacent neural structures.Ulceration and secondary infection may occur.he pathogenesis of calcinosis cutis is not completely understood and a variety of factors allow for different clinical scenarios to occur. Metabolic and physical factors are pivotal in the development of most cases of calcinosis.
