Gout and calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease are two common causes of inflammatory joint disease. Despite differences underlying their pathogenesis, their clinical presentation and treatment share some common features. Optimal treatment for both requires prompt resolution of acute synovitis, reduction of chronic joint damage and management of associated conditions. Available therapeutic interventions and future strategies are reviewed in this article.
