• #1 Pseudogout – Zero To Finals

  https://zerotofinals.com/medicine/rheumatology/pseudogout/

  Pseudogout is a crystal arthropathy caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals collecting in the joints. It is formally known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD). It may also be called chondrocalcinosis. […] Treatment of pseudogout is targeted at symptoms. There are no proven disease-modifying drugs, prophylactic treatments or dietary modifications. Asymptomatic changes on an x-ray do not require any treatment. […] Symptoms usually resolve spontaneously over several weeks. Symptomatic management options include: NSAIDs (e.g., naproxen) first-line (co-prescribed with a proton pump inhibitor for gastroprotection), Colchicine, Intra-articular steroid injections (septic arthritis must be excluded first), Oral steroids.

  Pseudogout is arthritis that causes sudden flares of pain, swelling and stiffness in your joints. […] Pseudogout can affect any joint in your body, but its most common in: Knees, Hands and wrists, Shoulders, Hips and pelvis, Elbows, Ankles. […] A buildup of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) in your affected joints causes pseudogout. […] Your provider will suggest treatments to manage the symptoms youre experiencing and reduce how often you have pseudogout attacks. […] The most common treatments are medications, including: NSAIDs, Corticosteroids, Colchicine, Biologic injections. […] For now, theres no way to prevent pseudogout. […] You should expect to have flares of symptoms that come and go. […] Visit a healthcare provider if you experience sudden, intense pain in any of your joints, especially if your joint is also swollen and your skin is red or discolored. […] Talk to your provider if youre having more frequent pseudogout attacks or if your symptoms are more severe than they used to be.

• #3 Pseudogout – The Rheumatologist

  https://www.the-rheumatologist.org/article/pseudogout/

  Pseudogout is a type of arthritis that, as the name implies, can cause symptoms similar to gout, but which are a reaction to a different type of crystal deposit. Proper diagnosis is important because untreated pseudogout may lead to a severe form of joint degeneration and ongoing inflammation, resulting in chronic disability. […] Pseudogout develops when deposits of calcium pyrophosphate crystals accumulate in a joint. Initially, crystals deposit in the cartilage and can cause damage. They also can cause a reaction with inflammation that leads to joint pain and swelling. This can cause more chronic arthritis that mimics osteoarthritis or RA. […] To treat it, patients may be prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as indomethacin (Indocin) and naproxen (Naprosyn) to treat pain and disability. Low doses of colchicine or NSAIDs may prove effective to prevent further attacks. However, no treatment is available to dissolve the crystal deposits, and those with poor kidney function, a history of stomach ulcers, or on blood thinners often cannot take NSAIDs. These patients may find a cortisone shot into the affected joint helpful.

• #5 Pseudogout in Thousand Oaks, CA | Cohen Medical Centers

  https://www.cohencenters.com/rheumatology/pseudogout/

  Pseudogout is a chronic condition that results from the local overproduction of pyrophosphate in cartilage which causes the deposition of CPPD crystals. […] Episodes of acute pseudogout occur when CPPD crystals are shed from the cartilage. This can happen after surgery, from direct trauma to the joint, or from joint inflammation. It usually appears as the sudden onset of swelling, warmth and pain in one joint, typically the knee (in 50% of attacks), wrist, or ankle. The degree of inflammation may be less than that seen in gout. Multiple joints may be affected and the condition may be accompanied by fever. Joint inflammation peaks on day two or three and can last from 7-14 days with subsequent resolution. […] Episodes of acute pseudogout are treated in the same manner as acute gout. Aspiration of the affected joint often provides relief. Chronic arthritis is treated symptomatically with medicines to decrease the inflammatory response. At Cohen Medical Centers, we offer an infusion center and ultrasound-guided joint injections to help manage your pain and improve your health.

  Pseudogout symptoms can mimic those of gout and other types of arthritis, so lab and imaging tests are usually necessary to confirm a diagnosis. […] There’s no cure for pseudogout, but a combination of treatments can help relieve pain and improve the joint’s function. […] If over-the-counter pain relievers aren’t enough, your health care provider may suggest: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

  Pseudogout, also called calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD), is a form of arthritis that commonly affects the knees. It is characterized by the sudden and painful onset of swelling in one or more joints and is similar to gout. Symptoms can occur very quickly, sometimes over a few hours, and remain for approximately three to 10 days. […] There are no treatments available for eradicating crystals in the joints. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly prescribed to ease pain and swelling in acute attacks. […] For patients who cannot take NSAIDs, such as those with impaired kidney function, a history of stomach ulcers, or patients who are taking blood thinners, the joint fluid may be drained. Corticosteroids may be injected into the joint instead of using NSAIDs to treat pain and swelling. […] In rare and severe cases of pseudogout, surgery can be carried out to repair or replace joints damaged by the condition. […] Treatments generally focus on symptom management over disease eradication, as it is currently not possible to remove pseudogout crystals from the joints.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/330936-treatment

  Finally, a theoretical possibility for pharmacologic treatment of CPPD is the use of anticrystal agents to prevent deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate. […] Patients with pseudoneuropathic arthropathy that is refractory to medical management may benefit from surgical replacement of the damaged joint with a bioprosthesis. […] The use of NSAIDs can be considered, generally in higher doses during the acute attack and in lesser doses for prevention. […] Injection of corticosteroids such as 40-80 mg (depending on the size of the joint) of methylprednisolone or triamcinolone into the affected joint has the advantage of avoiding the adverse effects of systemic NSAIDs. […] Oral colchicine, or even intravenous (IV) colchicine, can be considered for the treatment of acute pseudogout.

• #73 Pseudogout – The Rheumatologist

  https://www.the-rheumatologist.org/article/pseudogout/

  Pseudogout is a type of arthritis that, as the name implies, can cause symptoms similar to gout, but which are a reaction to a different type of crystal deposit. Proper diagnosis is important because untreated pseudogout may lead to a severe form of joint degeneration and ongoing inflammation, resulting in chronic disability. […] Pseudogout develops when deposits of calcium pyrophosphate crystals accumulate in a joint. Initially, crystals deposit in the cartilage and can cause damage. They also can cause a reaction with inflammation that leads to joint pain and swelling. This can cause more chronic arthritis that mimics osteoarthritis or RA. […] To treat it, patients may be prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as indomethacin (Indocin) and naproxen (Naprosyn) to treat pain and disability.
