  • Title: Chondrocalcinosis related to familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis.
    Author: Cimbek EA, Şen Y, Yuca SA, Peru H.
    Journal: J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab; 2015 May; 28(5-6):713-6. PubMed ID: 25720051.
    Abstract:
    Calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease (also known as chondrocalcinosis, CC) is a rare metabolic arthropathy mostly seen in elderly patients. Chondrocalcinosis may be associated with metabolic diseases such as hypomagnesemia when it occurs in young people. We report here a case with hypomagnesemia due to familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) who developed CC during clinical follow-up. To our best knowledge this is the first case of a young patient with CPPD associated with FHHNC.
