Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is characterized by the deposition of pyrophosphate crystals in various joint structures. Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease can be linked to underlying metabolic disorders such as hemochromatosis, hyperparathyroidism, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesaemia, and hypothyroidism, all of which increase the risk of calcium pyrophosphate deposition. We present the case of a 55-year-old male who underwent diagnostic examination for the onset of recurrent joint pain in the right knee.
焦磷酸钙沉积病的特征是焦磷酸晶体在各种关节结构中沉积。焦磷酸钙沉积病可能与潜在的代谢紊乱有关,如血色素沉着症、甲状旁腺功能亢进、低磷血症、低镁血症和甲状腺功能减退,所有这些都会增加焦磷酸钙沉积的风险。我们报告一例55岁男性患者,因右膝反复关节疼痛发作接受诊断性检查。
