Metastatic pulmonary calcification in a patient with chronic renal failure.
Metastatic pulmonary calcification characterized by diffuse calcium deposition in the lungs is known to occur in patients with chronic renal failure. We present a case of a 47-year-old man with chronic renal failure presented with dyspnea, high-resolution computed tomography of the chest revealed multiple, centrilobular, calcified nodules and patchy areas of ground-glass opacity throughout both...
متن کاملHeart Failure Associated with Metastatic Myocardial Calcification in a Hemodialysis Patient with Progressive Calcification of the Hand.
Metastatic myocardial calcification is a frequent cause of heart failure in hemodialysis patients. However, early detection is difficult, often resulting in a poor prognosis. A 47-year-old man with hemodialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease presented with progressive dyspnea. Levels of serum phosphate, calcium, and intact parathyroid hormone were poorly controlled. He developed pain in his ...
متن کاملAcute renal failure in the transplanted kidney.

A correct diagnosis can lead to rapid return of renal function; an incorrect diagnosis can lead to loss of the graft and severe sequelae for the patient. The diagnostic possibilities are many (Fig. 10-1) and treatments quite different, although the clinical presentat...

involvement of the upper zones. There was also dense pleural thickening noted along the posterior margins extending from the apical region inferiorly up to the basal region. Pleural calcification was also noted in the left apical region posteriorly. Findings were secondary to metastatic calcification secondary to renal failure/hemodialysis. There were also discrete small areas of calcification ...
متن کاملA patient recently transplanted with a living donor kidney develops severe neurological symptoms.
One week after receiving a kidney transplant donated by his father, a 20-year-old patient was transferred to our department. The history of his kidney problems started when he was 1 year old. He had obstructive nephropathy requiring repeat urological operations and resulting in end-stage renal failure necessitating chronic haemodialysis from the age of 8 until this recent transplantation. His p...
