PSEUDO GOUT TREATMENT

About Pseudo Gout: Ayurvedic Treatment Of Pseudo Gout At Central India

Pseudogout is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden, painful swelling in one or more of the joints. These episodes can last for days or weeks. The most commonly affected joint is the knee.Also called Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Diseases, the common term "pseudogout" was coined for the conditions similarly to gout. Both conditions are caused by crystal deposits within joints, although the type of crystal differs for each condition.

It isn't clear why crystals form in the joints and cause pseudogout, but the risk increases with age.

Treatments can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation.

While the cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not clear, it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The underlying mechanism involves the body's immune system attacking the joints. This results in inflammation and thickening of the joint capsule. It also affects the underlying bone and cartilage.The diagnosis is made mostly on the basis of a person's signs and symptoms

Causes Pseudogout: Ayurvedic Treatment Of Pseudo Gout At Central India

Pseudogout results from the abnormal formation of calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in the cartilage (cushioning material between the bones), which is later followed by the release of crystals into the joint fluid. When CPP crystals are released into the joint, they can cause a sudden attack of arthritis, similar to gout.

The cause of abnormal deposits of CPP crystals in cartilage is unknown. They may form due to abnormal cells in the cartilage, or they may be produced as the result of another disease that damages cartilage. CPP crystals may be released from cartilage during a sudden illness, joint injury, or surgery. The abnormal formation of CPP crystals also may be a hereditary trait.
