Calcinosis Dystrophic

Dystrophic calcinosis is a disease that results in the formation of thick and hard calcium deposits in soft tissues. Calcium usually enters the body with food, and is then deposited in tissues and organs. In dystrophic calcinosis, calcium deposits are found not only on the skin, but also in internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, lungs and heart.

Typically, problems with dystrophic calcification are the result of insufficient calcium removal from the body. This can happen for several reasons. First of all, these may be genetic reasons that cause disturbances in the absorption of calcium in the intestine. The problem can also occur with certain disorders of the immune system, or with poor diet (if you eat a lot of foods containing calcium). In addition, calcium problems and dystrophy may be associated with certain diseases such as cancer, osteoporosis or myelo

Calcinosis is the process of formation of fine-grained dense and solid matter in tissues and organs due to excessive deposition of calcium salts. It is one of the manifestations of dystrophic changes. Calcification can occur in any part of the body, but mainly affects organs and tissues that do not have a constant supply of calcium-rich blood.
