Zebrafish Models to Study Ectopic Calcification and Calcium-Associated Pathologies [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Ectopic calcification refers to the pathological accumulation of calcium ions in soft tissues and is often the result of a dysregulated action or disrupted function of proteins involved in extracellular matrix mineralization.

Novel Treatments for PXE: Targeting the Systemic and Local Drivers of Ectopic Calcification [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a heritable multisystem ectopic calcification disorder. The gene responsible for PXE, ABCC6, encodes ABCC6, a hepatic efflux transporter regulating extracellular inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a potent endogenous ...

An unusual ectopic calcification in the aorta

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2004
A 49-year-old woman with end-stage renal failure who had been maintained on chronic hemodialysis since she was 40 was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation. She had no history of infectious endocarditis. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed at the referring hospital showed severe mitral regurgitation with ...

Ectopic Calcification of Fibrin Sheath on the Catheter

Blood Purification, 2019
We describe a case of hemodialysis catheter that appeared to be encased in a sleeve-shaped fibrous sheath with calcification. Ectopic calcification is a serious complication in hemodialysis patients with calcium-phosphorus metabolism disorder. Clinical awareness and understanding of this condition is imperative to the prevention and management of ...

Ectopic Calcification as Abnormal Biomineralization

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, 2006
Abstract:  Vascular calcification is observed frequently in hemodialysis patients. The guidelines for kidney disease outcomes quality initiative recommend a strict control of serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations. Calcium–phosphorus product in extracellular fluids is almost at an oversaturation level in dialysis patients and in healthy ...

Ectopic Calcification In Sarcoidosis

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1974
To the Editor.— Hypercalcemia in some patients with sarcoidosis may lead to calcification in the kidneys and other tissues, including the soft tissues of the shoulder, the pulp of the fingers, the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe, and the ear cartilage. 1-4 We report an example.

Ectopic calcification in hypophosphatasia.

European journal of radiology, 1986
The radiological findings in a 24 year old female with hypophosphatasia included frayed joint surfaces, intra- and peri-articular, and paravertebral calcification. These changes were compared to the usual radiographic findings in hypophosphatasia and prompted a family study.

[Ectopic calcification].

Clinical calcium, 2014
Calcium deposition can be observed in many tissues in addition to bones and teeth which physiologically calcify. This unphysiological calcification can damage several organs. It has been shown that vascular calcification which is a risk factor for cardiovascular events develops through similar mechanisms to physiological calcification.
