Nutritional calcification and metastatic calcification differ fundamentally in their nature.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Calcium salt deposition in necrotic or impending necrotic tissue or foreign bodies is referred to as dystrophic calcification. In this case, calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body is normal. It is seen in tuberculosis, thrombosis, atherosclerosis, senile aortic valve disease, and scar tissue, among others. It may be related to an increase in local alkaline phosphatase.
