What are pulmonary nodules and calcifications?

I believe that everyone does not know what kind of disease pulmonary nodule calcification is. It is mainly a lung disease caused by tuberculosis, which has a very strong impact on our lungs. I hope you can understand it well in your life. For a disease like calcified lung nodules, the most basic cause is pulmonary tuberculosis, so patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should pay attention to it.

For pulmonary lesions, calcification indicates that the patient's lesions are old. There was a disease in this place before, but the traces left after the disease was cured can be said to be a sign of recovery! As for nodules, it is generally not easy to determine the nature of the lesions. It is necessary to comprehensively judge the nature of the lesions in combination with the medical history. Generally, regular reexaminations can be performed. If the nodules do not change or become smaller or even disappear after a long period of reexamination, it means that the patient has no problem. However, if the lesions are found to be larger during the reexamination, especially in a short period of time, it means that it is not a good thing and should be treated in time!

The most common cause is pulmonary tuberculosis. Other rare causes include sclerosing hemangioma, inflammatory pseudotumor, and hamartoma, which are not common. The situation you mentioned is basically pulmonary tuberculosis. As for whether it is active or inactive, first of all, it depends on whether you have clinical symptoms. Imaging is not omnipotent, but it can give you a glimpse of something. If you have a chest X-ray, the lighter infiltrative lesions (that is, the active lesions) are difficult to see. If you have a chest CT scan, you can see it more clearly, and the lighter infiltrative lesions can also be seen.

There are two reasons for calcification: Malnutrition calcification: usually occurs in the lungs and liver. There may be no cause, or it may be a further development after the original lesion is repaired. Another type of calcification is called metastatic calcification, which is usually located in a mobile manner and is mostly caused by abnormal blood phosphorus and calcium concentrations in the blood.

Through this article's introduction to the causes of calcified pulmonary nodules, we should all know what kind of disease calcified pulmonary nodules is. It is difficult to treat calcified lung nodules in our daily life. We hope that everyone can prevent the causes of the disease in their daily life.
