Lung Calcifications and Chronic Kidney Failure
2007
Archivos de Bronconeumologia
Pulmonary calcification is relatively uncommon and typically asymptomatic. A number of diseases are associated with this disorder, including chronic kidney failure, infections, and lung amyloidosis. There are, moreover, a number of conditions, such as hypercalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, alkalosis, and alveolar damage, which predispose a patient to calcification. We describe a case of pulmonary calcifications associated with chronic kidney failure which had required hemodialysis and a subsequent kidney transplant.
