The authors are presenting an 18 year old male with history of end stage renal disease and rejected renal transplant. In his workup echocardiogram and non contract CT of chest revealed diffuse endocardial and myocardial calcifications. Extensive cardiac calcification is a rare but important entity in relation to end stage renal disease as it may cause complications such as valvular dysfunction and fatal arrhythmia.
作者报告了一名18岁男性，有终末期肾病病史且拒绝接受肾移植。在其检查中，超声心动图和胸部非增强CT显示弥漫性心内膜和心肌钙化。广泛的心脏钙化在终末期肾病中是一种罕见但重要的情况，因为它可能导致诸如瓣膜功能障碍和致命性心律失常等并发症。
