  Background: Metastatic pulmonary calcification (MPC) is an uncommon but under-recognized complication of end-stage kidney disease. Because chest radiography often shows diffuse bilateral pulmonary opacities, MPC may be mistaken for pulmonary oedema, infection, miliary tuberculosis, or malignancy, especially when the radiological abnormalities appear extensive. Case Report: A 62-year-old man with stage 5 chronic kidney disease on maintenance haemodialysis three times weekly underwent routine chest imaging. He had no cough, dyspnoea, chest pain, or fever, and oxygen saturation on room air was 98%. Serial chest radiographs over 16 months demonstrated persistent and slowly progressive diffuse bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. Chest computed tomography revealed diffuse ground-glass opacities, centrilobular ground-glass nodules with punctate high-attenuation foci in both lungs, and widesprea.. Read More»
