Pseudogout Pseudogout has very similar
symptoms to gout. It is an extremely painful arthritis with sudden
swelling and pain in the joint. The crystals that cause these painful
crises are made up of calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) instead of
uric acid. The most common site is the knee but other joints can also be
affected. Taking a small amount of fluid from an affected joint and
finding these CPPD crystals under a special microscope confirms the
diagnosis. |
