Metastatic Pulmonary Calcification in Chronic Renal Disease
Imaging findings
Areas of calcification are seen within chronically edematous lung, associated with pleural effusion and pleural thickening. Calcification is also noted along the left atrial wall, within the interatrial septum, and around the pulmonary arteries.
Key takeaways
Severe metastatic pulmonary calcification in chronic renal disease can extend beyond expected lung parenchyma to include the left atrial wall, interatrial septum, and pulmonary arteries, highlighting the widespread nature of advanced disease.
