• #1 Treatment and management of pseudogout: insights for the clinician

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3383522/

  Pseudogout and the associated calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD)- crystal-related arthropathies are common conditions that present particular management problems in clinical practice as they often affect older patients with multiple medical comorbidities. […] The potential of colchicine as a prophylactic agent in managing recurrent attacks and the likely mechanisms of its effects on the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NALP-3) inflammasome of the innate immune system are highlighted. […] Magnesium supplementation has often been recommended as a safe prophylactic agent to decrease the frequency of acute attacks of pseudogout. […] There is some evidence for its role in the prevention of both acute attacks of pseudogout and recurrent episodes of the other CPPD-related arthritides, and the recent mechanistic insights into its effects on crystal uptake into cells and inhibition of their subsequent interaction with the inflammasome have generated renewed interest in this medication as a potential anchor drug in the prophylaxis of pseudogout.

[…] Physical therapy is integral to managing pseudogout, focusing on relieving pain, reducing swelling, and maintaining or improving joint mobility. Therapists may employ techniques such as heat, ice, ultrasound, and gentle stretching to enhance joint function and alleviate discomfort. Regular exercise, particularly low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, and aquatic exercises, is recommended. These activities reduce stress on the joints while maintaining strength and flexibility. During flare-ups, gentle range-of-motion exercises help keep joints functional without exacerbating symptoms.

  Pseudogout is characterized by acute or chronic inflammation of the synovial joints, which are involved in active motion. […] Pseudogout should be treated much like osteoarthritis and a variety of techniques can be used to self-manage the condition. […] Regular low-impact exercise is an essential component of self-management for pseudogout. […] Light or moderate physical activity protects joints by strengthening the muscles around them, increasing blood flow to the joint and helping promote normal joint regeneration. […] Physical activity strengthens the muscles and connective tissues around your joints, helping support joints that have been damaged by arthritis. […] Therapeutic exercises improve connections and response time between your brain and your muscles, increasing coordination to help the joint remain stable during physical activity and reduce risk of injury.

  Many low-impact exercise options can benefit people living with arthritis. […] Consult your healthcare provider to identify suitable exercises for you and your particular condition. […] Any increase in your physical activity or exercise may help if you are not active. […] Healthy eating will help you manage your weight and give you the energy to complete your daily activities, as well as promote a strong immune system, and bone and tissue health. […] While it’s important to keep your joints moving, it’s also important to avoid situations that put excessive stress or strain on your joints, as that can increase your risk of injury and make your joints deteriorate faster.

  Regular monitoring and follow-ups with healthcare professionals are crucial for effectively managing pseudogout. This includes routine assessments of joint health and mobility, as well as keeping track of any new symptoms or changes in existing symptoms. For individuals with recurrent episodes, low-dose colchicine may be prescribed to prevent future attacks. Additionally, managing associated health conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or hemochromatosis is vital, as these can influence the severity and frequency of pseudogout episodes. Regular consultations with a rheumatologist and adherence to a tailored treatment plan play a pivotal role in preventing exacerbations and managing the condition long-term.

  Data are insufficient to support treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia with hypouricemic agents. In general, initiating therapy in asymptomatic persons is not recommended, but investigating underlying comorbid conditions and addressing lifestyle factors may be appropriate. […] Patient education is essential for patient adherence to therapy and success towards the prevention and management of gout. Patients should be informed about gout and its associated triggers and risk factors, as well as advice on lifestyle modifications (eg, avoid alcohol intake, limit consumption of meats, especially organ meats and shellfish, and ensure adequate hydration) and ways to alleviate the urate load and subsequent health risk. […] Prophylactic agents (colchicine, NSAIDs, or systemic steroids) should be initiated concurrently with, or prior to starting, urate-lowering therapy to decrease the risk of recurrent flares. Colchicine is the most popular prophylaxis therapy. Research suggests beneficial outcomes when treating patients with colchicine during initiation of urate-lowering therapy. Prophylactic therapy is best if continued for 6 months to 1 year, when possible.

  Pseudogout and the associated calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD)- crystal-related arthropathies are common conditions that present particular management problems in clinical practice as they often affect older patients with multiple medical comorbidities. […] The potential of colchicine as a prophylactic agent in managing recurrent attacks and the likely mechanisms of its effects on the NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 3 (NALP-3) inflammasome of the innate immune system are highlighted. […] Magnesium supplementation has often been recommended as a safe prophylactic agent to decrease the frequency of acute attacks of pseudogout. […] There is some evidence for its role in the prevention of both acute attacks of pseudogout and recurrent episodes of the other CPPD-related arthritides, and the recent mechanistic insights into its effects on crystal uptake into cells and inhibition of their subsequent interaction with the inflammasome have generated renewed interest in this medication as a potential anchor drug in the prophylaxis of pseudogout.

  Managing pseudogout involves dietary considerations to help control flare-ups and maintain overall joint health. While diet does not directly influence the formation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, it plays a crucial role in managing inflammation and overall health. It is advisable to avoid high-purine foods such as red meat and shellfish, which are more commonly associated with gout but can also affect inflammation levels in pseudogout. Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods like cherries, berries, fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and nuts can be beneficial. These foods help combat inflammation and support joint health. […] Physical therapy is integral to managing pseudogout, focusing on relieving pain, reducing swelling, and maintaining or improving joint mobility. Therapists may employ techniques such as heat, ice, ultrasound, and gentle stretching to enhance joint function and alleviate discomfort. Regular exercise, particularly low-impact activities such as walking, cycling, and aquatic exercises, is recommended. These activities reduce stress on the joints while maintaining strength and flexibility. During flare-ups, gentle range-of-motion exercises help keep joints functional without exacerbating symptoms.
