Pseudogout (CPPD)

Type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the joints.

Overview

Pseudogout mimics a gout attack but is driven by calcium pyrophosphate crystals rather than uric acid. It favors the knee and wrist and is commonly misdiagnosed, which delays effective treatment.

How we treat it

Accurate diagnosis via joint fluid analysis and imaging is the key step; from there, inflammation control and flare prevention are highly effective.

Appointments

We schedule by phone or physician referral.

Call the office and our front desk will find you a time, confirm your insurance and tell you exactly what to bring to your first visit.
