Visceral Calcification Diagnosed by Bone Scintigraphy

Chronic renal failure in a 47-year-old woman led to intense visceral calcification, mainly in the lungs, heart, and stomach. Changes secondary to multiple organ calcification were seen on whole-body bone scintigraphy. This is a rare finding in patients with end-stage renal failure.
