Medical Conditions - Calcium Deposition

Calcium deposition or calcification is the process by which calcium salt accumulates or deposits in the body tissues. Normally, calcium deposition occurs during the formation of bones and teeth. However, abnormal disposition of calcium can also occur in soft tissues and lead to several health conditions. Calcium can be deposited in other regions of the body, such as the arteries, kidneys, lungs, and brain, when a condition disrupts the equilibrium between calcium and other substances in the body.
