Could The White Spots Seen In The CT Scan Be Due To Calcification?

I am having lots of spots show up after each ct, lower lung 5x6mm, L4,10x13mm , abdomin 2x2, and kidney 10x16mm. These have all grown to this point in less than a year. Along with having multiple kidney stones. I'm told they still believe it's calcifications. Now the one in lung is causing some problems, How do I find out forsure it's just calcification and if it is how do I stop the growth

Welcome to Health care magic.

1.Multiple hyper-dense foci in different locations - suggest some systemic disease which have left trace of healing process.
2.Possibily its tubercular infection with complications of infection intra abdominal and kidney. After healing granulomatous changes are seen as calcific foci.
3.Another possibilities is hormonal imbalance which causes calcifications - par at harmon, renal osteo-dystrophy.
4.Possibility or renall stones - type of stones should be assessed and precautions can be taken.
5.Usually granulomatous changes will not give any changes, could be inflammatory changes adjacent to it giving the symptoms.
6.There is no particular treatment to the calcification - usually monitored. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
