Prognosis With regard to an acute attack of pseudogout, the prognosis is usually very good. The symptoms usually go away within two weeks. However, over time, joint degeneration can occur. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

Chondrocalcinosis Prognosis As aforesaid, Chondrocalcinosis is often left untreated if there is no pain. In case a patient is experiencing pain, certain medications are used to relieve painful sensations. This may, however, cause damage to organs. [hxbenefit.com]

They are organised into groups, and further divided into clinical, etiological or histopathological sub-types. [orpha.net]

Etiology Although the exact mechanism for the development of CPDD remains unknown, increased adenosine triphosphate breakdown with resultant increased inorganic pyrophosphate in the joints results from aging, genetic factors, or both. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology See Pathophysiology. Pathophysiology The exact physiologic dysfunction is not clear, but studies appear to implicate the chondrocyte and surrounding matrix as the responsible agents. [thehealthscience.com]

Etiology: The cause of CPPD crystal deposition disease is unknown. Formation of CPPD crystals in cartilage may be related to matrix changes or result from elevated levels of calcium or inorganic pyrophosphate. [rheumaknowledgy.com]

Therefore, a gram stain and cultures of joint fluid and blood are necessary to rule out an infectious etiology. Polyarticular or oligoarticular inflammatory presentations can mimic rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory joint diseases. [omagdigital.com]
