Pseudogout treatments also involve pain management with anti-inflammatory drugs, but there's no specific treatment to dissolve CPPD crystals or prevent their formation. 15 Lastly, while both conditions can cause joint damage over time, their management and prognoses can vary. Proper diagnosis is ...
have shown the inhibition of pyrophosphatase by copper ions in vitro, which explains the accumulation of CPPD crystals.3 The spinal abnormalities can be osteophytes, disc space narrowing, squaring of ver- tebrae, and Schmorl's nodes that predominate in middorsal...

Present in inactive joints, the crystal surfaces are bare; in acute gout, the crystals are covered with mucin, confirming the observation that protein binding to crystals is necessary for inflammation to proceed. CPPD disease is by far the most common crystal-associated arthropathy affeting the ...
As the population ages and CPPD becomes more prevalent, there is an urgent need to better understand the disease and the mechanisms involved in crystal formation and deposition, in order to improve diagnosis and therapeutic approaches.doi:10.1007/s11926-024-01161-wSirotti, Silvia...
