Are calcium deposits inside your lung and lymph nodes a concern?

They're actually quite common and usually don't need treatment.

No. Go do a CT Scan right away. That is usually bad news man!Go see a doctor to run some tests.

If the non-calcified nodules seen on screening were confirmed and were non-calcified on the diagnostic CT, further work-up was recommended, depending on the size (average of length and width) of the nodule:\nnodules 5 mm or less: follow up with high resolution CT scans at 3 mos, 6 mos, 12 mos and 24 mos as long as there was no growth. \n\nhttp://www.journalclub.org/vol2/a71.html\n\nIf a nodule is found on a screening CT scan, than a decision is made to either biopsy the nodule if it appears suspicious for cancer, or to repeat a CT scan within 6 to 12 weeks to determine if the nodule has grown. Should the nodule grow, this is highly suspicious for malignancy, and a recommendation to biopsy the nodule is warranted. If on the other hand the nodule remains stable in size, and does not change, then continued observation is recommended. \n\nhttp://www.columbiasurgery.org/divisions/cardiothoracic/dd_cancer_screen.html

It is Calcium and phosphrus.

It sounds like calcium deposits to me. If that is the case, you just have to let your fingernails grow. Cut them like you normally would until the white spots get far enough uot to cut them off

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) I think.

If it is truly calcified it means that the body has encapsulated it and replaced the living cells with calcium , rendering the granuloma inert.

A single 3mm nodule (subpleural refers to the location, it is beneath the pleural space in the upper right lobe of the lung) - this is a small nodule, about the size of a small bead. Opacification refers to how opaque it is, or how white it appears on the x-ray. The less white (opaque) it is, the less dense it is, and this tells the radiologist certain things. That the clinician wants to look at it again in 1 year suggests that he/she doesn't think it's dangerous but on the other hand doesn't really know what it is either - further testing is needed, with some time to allow the thing to do whatever it's going to do (grow, shrink, change color, etc.) Lots of these 'spots' on the lung are nothing more than fibrous lumps. The cyst (a fluid filled sac) on your kidney again could be something or not. Cysts by themselves don't do much (sometimes they are in a tight spot and cause pain). Dozens of cysts would be a problem. No renal masses means no stones and no cancerous nodules. That's good news. 1 year is a good amount of time to wait before having another test, and it means don't worry!

I had a total thyroidectomy and the parathyroids came out too (they were stuck to all the scar tissue on my thyroid from all my RAI treatments)  So..my body is totally dependent on calcium and vitamin D supplements.  I take 50 mcg Calcitriol (vit D) and 2000mg OsCal daily.  My levels are monitored every 3 mos but since having a baby, my body has changed quite a bit.  I've had 3 hypercalcemic crisis' since that time, all landing me in the ER and a nice 2 day hospital visit (10 days after birth of my daughter) with calcium levels of 16 each time (normal being 9) between having a baby, losing a lot of weight quickly (IBS) and being dehyrdated when ill I've had my share!  I'm seeing a really good endocrinologist who is supposedly the calcium expert and has run extensive testing on me.  If you live in the NY metro area, email me at mooseny35@yahoo.com and I will gladly provide you with his info.

It could be swollen lymph nodes due to infection.  Have a doctor look at them.  FYI, swollen lymph nodes could be a sign of lymphoma, but is usually not.  A  doctor can tell you if its an infection that needs to be treated w/a course of antibiotics.

calcium is mainly used to strengthen your bones so when you get older theres a less chance that you get osteoporosis

Your lymph nodes may be swollen. Do you have any of the same swollen lumps under your arms or in your neck? Have you been ill recently? If they don't go down soon, you need to see a doctor. Lymph nodes can swell for many reasons, but it is best to see a doctor.\n\nLymph nodes become inflammed pretty easily, so it might be from the poison ivy, but it might not. If they don't go away when the poison ivy does, see a doctor.

With all the adenopathy and atelectasis (collapsed parts of the lung) I would be very concerned about the findings.  Have you lost weight?  Are you more tired than usual?  Are you coughing?  Did they do any lab work also?  \nI am sure your doctor is going to refer you for more tests.  You may need biopsies (tissue samples) also.  \nMake a list of your questions & concerns before you go to the doctor and bring the list w/ you.  If at all possible, have a friend or family member got to the vist with you.  When we are anxious, we tend to forget what was said.  \nGood luck to you!

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with possible lymphoma.  I had a ct guided biopsy that was inconclusive - no cancer.  After they surgically removed a lymph node, they were able to tell that it was sarcoidosis.  I wish I didn't have a surgery scar on my abdomen, but it is better than cancer.  You'll probably have to let them cut a lymph node out to biopsy it.  I was treated with steroids for about 3 months and I'm currently symptom free.  Good luck!
