Crystalline arthropathies are a group of joint disorders caused by deposits of crystals in joints and the soft tissues around them. The most common types are gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD).

Crystal arthropathy is a class of joint disorder (called arthropathy) that is characterized by accumulation of tiny crystals in one or more joints. Polarizing microscopy and application of other crystallographic techniques have improved identification of different microcrystals including monosodium urate , calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate ...

2022年7月28日 · Pseudogout is formally known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease or CPPD. But the condition is commonly called pseudogout because of its similarity to gout. In both pseudogout and gout, crystal deposits form within a joint, although the type of …

2021年8月31日 · Crystal arthropathies are a group of joint disorders due to the deposition of crystals in and around joints which lead to joint destruction and soft tissue masses. Pathology. The most common crystal arthropathies are: gouty arthropathy due to monosodium urate (MSU) deposition; pseudogout due to calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition

About Crystalline Arthropathies: Gout and CPPD. Gout monosodium urate crystal deposition Male predominance; Most common inflammatory arthritis for older males; Peak onset: 40-60 yo; Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease : CPP crystal deposition Previously referred to as pseudogout; Disease of elderly, onset >50 yo; Likes damaged joints

Crystalline arthritis is caused by the deposition of crystals in the joints. The two main types are gout (MSU crystals) and pseudogout (CPPD). Another type is basic calcium phosphate crystal deposition disease (HADD).

2024年9月10日 · Crystal-induced arthropathies are caused by the precipitation of crystals in and around the joints and soft tissues. This further causes joint destruction and soft tissue masses. The most common crystal-induced arthropathies include gout and pseudogout.

Crystalline arthropathy constitutes a group of disorders with crystal deposition in and around joints ultimately leading to joint destruction. In the spine, the most commonly encountered condition is calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease.

Classically, acute gout affects the first MTP (podagra): initial presentation in 50%. Other joints include ankles, wrists, fingers & knees. Clinical features are sudden onset exquisite tenderness, swelling, redness.

2023年6月20日 · Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) is a crystal deposition arthropathy involving the synovial and periarticular tissues. Its clinical presentation may range from being asymptomatic to acute or chronic inflammatory arthritis.
