Background/Purpose: Monosodium urate (MSU) andmonoclinic calcium pyrophosphate dihydrated(mCPPD)crystals are responsible for relapsing acute arthritis which is driven by interleukin 1β (IL-1β).IL-1βproductionrelies onNLRP3 inflammasome activationleading to…Abstract Number: 1205 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and Conventional Radiography Evaluation of the Hip in Patients with Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Conventional radiography (CR) and, more recently, US play a key role in the diagnosis of CPPD. To date, only a very few studies have…Abstract Number: 1268 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Assessment of the Persistence of Crystals Under Polarised Light Microscopy in Stored Synovial Fluid Samples
Background/Purpose: Lacking an immediate access to a polarized light microscope is sometimes used to justify the clinical diagnosis of crystal-related arthritis. Some studies have assessed…Abstract Number: 1283 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystal Deposition in a Cohort of 48 Patients with Gitelman Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Gitelman syndrome (GS) is a rare recessively inherited tubulopathy, caused by inactive mutations in SLC12A3 gene encoding the thiazide-sensitive-sodium-chloride transporter. It is characterized by…Abstract Number: 2204 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Utility of a Multi-Energy Spectral CT in Crystal Arthritis
