Kidneys
Lungs
Systemic arteries and

Metastatic calcification occurs in normal tissues whenever there is hypercalcemia.
Usually, deposition of the calcium does not cause any clinical dysfunction but sometimes massive deposition in the lung may produce abnormality and in kidneys may produce nephrocalcinosis.
