Patterns and Clinico-Radiological Correlates of Symptomatic Atlantoaxial Joint Involvement in Patients with Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease
Background/Purpose: Atlantoaxial joint involvement in calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) may present as crowned dens syndrome (CDS), a clinico-radiological tetrad defined as the presence of…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: 2223 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Proton Pump Inhibitors and Risk of Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition (CPPD) in a Population-Based Study
Background/Purpose: There are no therapies available that specifically target CPPD, with treatment limited to symptomatic management. Hypomagnesemia is a recognized risk factor for CPPD, and…Abstract Number: 1126 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High Osteoprotegerin:RANKL Ratios in Synovial Fluid Correlate with the Presence of Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD) is a common cause of both acute and chronic arthritis in the elderly. It is estimated that twenty percent…Abstract Number: 2083 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Inflammation Induced By Four Types of Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals Depends on Their Capacity to Stimulate NF-κb and MAPK Pathways
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal-induced inflammation is mainly driven by interleukin (IL)-1β. IL-1β production involves a two-step process including the formation of pro-IL-1β through NF-κB…Abstract Number: 2271 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mutation in Osteoprotegerin Gene: Early-Onset Osteoarthritis and Chondrocalcinosis in a US Family of Italian/German Ancestry
Background/Purpose: Chondrocalcinosis is characterized by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition in articular cartilage. It can occur as a rare autosomal dominant disorder with florid early-onset…Abstract Number: 184 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasound Versus X-Rays Versus Synovial Fluid Analysis for the Diagnosis of Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition Disease: Is It CPPD?
Background/Purpose: The diagnosis of calcium pyrophosphate crystal (CPP) deposition disease (CPPD) is mainly based on the synovial fluid analysis and Xrays. US has demonstrated high…Abstract Number: 158 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Performance of Joint Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Suspected Acute Crystal Arthritis : Results of a Prospective Study of 112 Patients
Background/Purpose The gold standard for diagnosing gout and CCP arthritis is the identification of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joint fluid. Ultrasound (US) features of…Abstract Number: 1922 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Articular Involvement in Relapsing Polychondritis: A Case Series
Background/Purpose: Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a relatively rare, but progressive disease with predilection for cartilage, with few data available regarding the arthritis in this setting.…
