Comparison of three radiodiagnostic techniques for pyrophosphate arthropathy

Научно-практическая ревматология, 2012
Pyrophosphate arthropathy (PPA) is a disease that arises due to the formation and deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals within the articular cartilage and thereby develops into immune inflammation.

A Phage Display-Identified Short Peptide Capable of Hydrolyzing Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals—The Etiological Factor of Chondrocalcinosis

Molecules, 2021
Chondrocalcinosis is a metabolic disease caused by the presence of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in the synovial fluid. The goal of our endeavor was to find out whether short peptides could be used as a dissolving factor for such crystals.

Case Report: Cervical chondrocalcinosis as a complication of Gitelman syndrome [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2016
Gitelman syndrome is an inherited tubulopathy leading to a hypokalaemic metabolic alkalosis with hypomagnesaemia and hypocalciuria. Most cases are due to mutations in SLC12A3, encoding the apical thiazide sensitive co-transporter in the distal convoluted

Consistency of the sonographic image (double contour sign) in patients with gout after ambulation

Journal of Medical Ultrasound, 2019
The aim of this study was to know whether or not any crystal shedding occurs after ambulation in patients with gout and how it affects the consistency of the sonographic image of crystal deposition on hyaline cartilage. A total of 18 consecutive patients

Cartilage icing and chondrocalcinosis on knee radiographs in the differentiation between gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition.

PLoS ONE, 2020
OBJECTIVE:To determine if findings of "cartilage icing" and chondrocalcinosis on knee radiography can differentiate between gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD).

Heritability of crystal related arthropathies [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Rheumatology, 2022
The most common types of crystal arthropathies are gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease. Serum urate levels are influenced by a combination of genetic factors and the environment. There are studies estimating the heritability of urate
