Calcification in the renal medulla: A clasification based on a prospective study of 2261 necropsies
AF Burry, RA Axelsen, P Trolove, JR Saal - Human Pathology, 1976 - Elsevier
Kidneys from 1864 necropsies performed in Brisbane, Australia, and from 397 necropsies
performed in Christchurch, New Zealand, were examined macroscopically and
microscopically. Three zonal and three focal patterns of renal medullary calcification were
defined:(1) Outer medullary cortical calcification seen in hypercalcemic conditions.(2) A
band of calcification at the boundary of the inner and outer medulla associated with
degenerative changes and correlated with aging and arteriolar disease.(3) Calcification …
