Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD) is a type of arthritis caused by the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, and may present as either acute or chronic arthritis. Development of CPPD crystal deposition disease in young people may be associated with metabolic diseases such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypomagnesemia, Wilson's disease, hypothyroidism, gout, acromegaly, and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets. Therefore, investigations for a predisposing metabolic condition are advised in young-onset polyarticular CPPD crystal deposition disease. In this article, we report two young patients who were investigated for recurrent joint pain due to CPPD disease.
焦磷酸钙沉积病(CPDD)是一种由焦磷酸钙晶体沉积引起的关节炎,可表现为急性或慢性关节炎。年轻人发生CPPD晶体沉积病可能与血色素沉着症、甲状旁腺功能亢进、低镁血症、威尔逊氏病、甲状腺功能减退、痛风、肢端肥大症和X连锁低磷性佝偻病等代谢性疾病有关。因此,对于年轻起病的多关节CPPD晶体沉积病,建议对潜在的代谢状况进行检查。在本文中,我们报告了两名因CPPD病反复关节疼痛而接受检查的年轻患者。
