The disease is known to mostly affect the knee joints, thereby causing serious hindrances in the affected person's day-to-day life. Pseudogout derives its name from 'gout' as a result of its similarity to the latter condition. Both the conditions are quite similar with the exception of the crystals that ignite the inflammation. Pseudogout is typically caused by the accumulation of calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate crystals, which develop inside the spaces between joints.
