Calcified foci in the lobes of the lungs are usually caused by inflammation of the lungs, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, and tracheobronchitis.
Lung lobe calcification foci are usually caused by lung inflammation, the most common cause is tuberculosis, this is because tuberculosis mycobacterium invades lung tissue and grows and reproduces, which can lead to the loss of normal lung tissue structure, physiological function, known as caseous necrosis, necrotic material can be present for a long period of time, in the body’s resistance or after treatment, the lesion is dry due to the loss of water, and the calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate attach to form calcification.
Secondly, pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, abnormal calcium or phosphate metabolism, hyperparathyroidism, thrombosis, as well as tracheobronchial amyloidosis and fibrosis can also induce the generation of pulmonary calcification foci.
Patients with calcified foci in the lobes of the lungs should consult their doctors, improve relevant examinations under the doctor’s guidance, clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions to actively treat the disease.
