Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether thorough analytical evaluation is useful to
diagnose metabolic conditions associated to calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.
Clinical Details
Official title: Appraisal of the Diagnostic Rentability of Thorough Analytical Screening Searching Associated Conditions in Patients Newly Diagnosed With Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Deposition Disease
Study design: Natural History, Longitudinal, Case Control, Prospective Study
Detailed description:
The diagnostic usefulness of screening for hyperparathyroidism, hemochromatosis,
hypothyroidism and hypophosphatasia in patients diagnosed with calcium pyrophosphate
dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease is uncertain.
Patients diagnosed with CPPD deposition disease were compared to patients with rheumatoid
arthritis and psoriatic arthritis over a 9-year period. All patients were prospectively
followed for at least 12 months. Serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase,
thyroid-stimulating hormone, ferritin, iron, and total iron binding capacity were determined
in all patients.
Eligibility
Minimum age: N/A.
Maximum age: N/A.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients diagnosed as having calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients mimicking a rheumatoid arthritis disease, with positive rheumatoid factor or with
psoriasis.
