CPPD Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing a rheumatologist is the usual step when a calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, known as CPPD disease, is suspected. In this condition, microcrystals accumulate in the joints, which can inflame them and cause discomfort similar to that of other forms of arthritis.
What is it? It is a joint disorder in which the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals triggers episodes of inflammation, sometimes called pseudogout.
Common symptoms: Pain, swelling, and stiffness in joints such as the knee or wrist, sometimes in flares that appear and subside.
When should it be checked? If there are repeated episodes of inflamed and painful joints, the rheumatologist or the internist can study the case. Placing the condition in the hands of a professional helps clarify the source of the pain and define follow-up.
