Calcinosis Systemic

Calcinosis is one of the most common diseases in our time. Many people suffer from this disease, which is caused by the deposition of calcium salts in the body. Over time, this process leads to the gradual accumulation of calcium deposits in different parts of the body and their breakdown. However, such changes can lead to serious health problems and even death. In this article we will take a closer look at what systemic calcinosis is, its causes, symptoms and treatment.

What is systemic calcification? Calcinosis is a pathology characterized by deposits of calcium salts with a calcareous structure. Mostly bone and cartilage tissues are affected, involving the vascular wall, skin, and joints. If the pathological process becomes systemic, inflammation of all tissues is observed. Systemic calcification is characterized by the formation of dense formations of varying sizes. Against the background of this pathology, necrosis and fractures may occur, the patient may have disability or even die. The pathology is called “universal calcinosis.”
