Found inside – Page 299Thus chondrocalcinosis is common in hemochromatosis. The disease is primarily productive, with large, beaklike osteophytes typical at the MCP joints (Fig. Both hemochromatosis and idiopathic calcium pyrophosphate disease (CPPD)–related arthropathy produce changes of osteoarthritis in joints that are usually not affected by this condition. The radiocarpal and midcarpal joints and the MCP joints are typically involved in these conditions ( Figure 28-1 ). Pseudogout, chondrocalcinosis and the early recognition of haemochromatosis Ulster Med J. Chondrocalcinosis 2 (CCAL2) is a genetic type of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPDD), a metabolic disorder characterized by deposits of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals (CPPD) in joint cartilage and eventual damage to affected joints.

Chondrocalcinosis is a late but characteristic feature of the arthropathy seen in hereditary hemochromatosis. Chondrocalcinosis, also known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, is a rheumatic disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of calcium crystals in the cartilage of joints. Chondrocalcinosis refers to the calcification in the menisci or articular cartilage due to the deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, calcium hydroxyapatite crystals, or a combination of these [1, 2].Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease is the most common crystalline arthropathy [].

Differential Diagnosis: Soft tissues findings in the skin and hand help differentiate psoriatic arthritis from findings in hemochromatosis. Homozygosity for the C282Y polymorphism within the HFE gene causes more than 80% of cases, with compound heterozygosity of the C282Y and H63D polymorphism also increasing susceptibility to disease. Knee is considered as one of the most affected areas by chondrocalcinosis. The calcification is due to deposition of calcium pyrophosphate crystals, perhaps resulting from iron inhibition of pyrophosphatase. Chondrocalcinosis, also known as calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease, is a condition in which calcium pyrophosphate crystals build up in the joints. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of the C282Y and H63D polymorphisms in the disease, and to assess the risk of HH in heterozygotes for the C282Y polymorphism. Hemochromatosis is the most common genetic disorder causing liver failure. references: Hypomagnesemia associated with chondrocalcinosis: a cross-sectional study; Images in clinical medicine.

Chondrocalcinosis is the medical condition of calcification of either hyaline articular cartilage or fibrocartilage. Chondrocalcinosis occurs on radiographs in up to 30% of patients with hemochromatosis. The knee joint is most commonly affected joint. Differential Diagnosis: Soft tissues findings in the skin and hand help differentiate psoriatic arthritis from findings in hemochromatosis. Hemochromatosis heterozygotes may have significant iron overload when they also have hereditary spherocytosis. Chondrocalcinosis in the knee can be a clue to the diagnosis, but is a less common manifestation. Chondrocalcinosis involving both fibrous and hyaline cartilage is frequently seen as well, particularly in the large joints. It can be seen on radiography.
