Calcification is the process by which calcium salts build up in body tissue, leading to a hardening of that tissue. It can occur in various contexts, such as in bones, where it is a normal part of growth and development, or in soft tissues, where it can indicate disease or injury. Pathological calcification can be classified into two types: dystrophic, occurring in damaged tissues, and metastatic, resulting from elevated calcium levels in the blood. This process can affect organ function and may require medical attention depending on its severity and location.
