Pathogenesis of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease

Best Practice and Research in Clinical Rheumatology, 2021
Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is defined by the presence of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in articular cartilage and is the fourth most common type of arthritis in adults. Despite its high prevalence, the etiology of CPPD disease remains unclear and no specific therapies currently exist.

Calcium pyrophosphate and pseudogout

Arthroscopy, 1985
Abstract Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD) is a condition in which calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals are deposited in joint articular cartilage, menisci, and synovium. The main clinical presentations of CPDD are chondrocalcinosis—calcification of cartilage, pseudogout—acute joint inflammation due to crystal ...

Calcium Pyrophosphate in Joint Disease

Hospital Practice, 1994
Shedding of crystals from cartilage into a joint space can cause pseudogout, the most common acute monarthritis in the elderly. The calcification may also be associated with structural change identical to osteoarthritis. Treatment seeks to reduce symptoms and improve function.

Tumoral calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease

Skeletal Radiology, 1989
A report of two patients in which a soft tissue mass, initially regarded as a malignant tumor, was shown to be the result of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease. The first case, a woman aged 71 years, presented with a mass involving the right fifth finger.

Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition in Nonhuman Primates

Veterinary Pathology, 1984
Naturally occurring deposition of calcium pyrophosphate has been identified in six rhesus monkeys following acute episodes of trauma and various septicemias. Scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray analytical system and single crystal electron diffraction studies were used to identify the crystals within the articular cartilage.

Pyrophosphate Hydrolysis of Ammonium, Calcium, and Calcium Ammonium Pyrophosphates in Selected Texas Soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1970
Abstract Five soils of varying chemical and mineralogical composition were treated with several pyrophosphates, and the rate of pyrophosphate hydrolysis determined. Pyrophosphate hydrolysis was a function of the pyrophosphate compound, soil type, and CaCO 3 treatment.

Acute calcium pyrophosphate deposition arthropathy

JAAPA, 2016
ABSTRACT Acute calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) arthropathy, also called pseudogout, is common, and becomes more prevalent as patients age. The presenting symptoms are similar to both gout and septic arthritis but may be treated differently. This article describes a typical patient presentation and management from an emergency medicine
