Calcification is the process in which the mineral
calcium (mainly calcium phosphate and calcium
oxalate) forms from biological matrices. Many
medical problems are also associated with normal and
pathological calcifications, like optic
calcification of intraocular lens, and kidney stone
formation of calcium oxalate concretions having CaP
nidi. This book looks at the physico-chemical
mechanisms of these processes on both kinetic and
molecular levels and applies these theories to show
how physiological constituents (magnesium, citric
acid, and osteopontin) influence the formation,
stability of calcium phosphate. These principles are
also applied to pathological calcification such as
renal stone formation. A similar approach is used as
the author discussed optic calcification on
implanted intraocular lens (IOL) surfaces and the
roles that viscoelastic materials play during
surgery.
