Calcificaciones pulmonares metastásicas, 3 casos clínicos

Abstract

Metastatic pulmonary calcifications refer to a metabolic disease, characterized by calcium de- posits in healthy lung tissue. The etiology is broad and includes malignant and benign diseases, the kidney failure being the most frequent cause. It is a condition, which, despite being frequent, is usually underdiagnosed, because it presents few or no symptoms. We present three clinical cases associated with pre- and post-transplant kidney disease.
