Abstract
Calcinosis cutis, or insoluble calcium salt deposition in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, results from local or systemic insults which disturb the factors regulating calcium. The condition is classified into four subtypes based on the presumed mechanism of calcium deposition: dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, and idiopathic. This chapter expands on the subtype of calcification most commonly seen in renal disease: metastatic calcification.
