Abstract
- In end stage renal disease, the precise mechanism of metastatic calcification remains unclear, except that it occurs with hyperphosphatemia, increased Ca x P product, and secondary hyperparathyroidism. It involves various organs such as lung, eye, stomach, kidney, and so on. A 62-year-old male patient, who had acute renal failure (ARF), developed gastric calcification in our institution. The ARF had been result of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), and the metastatic calcification seemed to be caused by increased Ca x P product and hyperphosphatemia. This case shows that metastatic calcification could arise even in ARF.
