This chapter describes crystal-induced musculoskeletal disease, which encompasses gout, hyperuricaemia, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate disease, basic calcium phosphate-associated disease, and calcium oxalate arthritis. Their epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, classification criteria, presenting features, clinical manifestations, and management are discussed. Diet, lifestyle, non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to their management are considered. User-friendly algorithms for the management of gout and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate disease are provided, allowing both rheumatologists and non-rheumatologists to confidently manage these diseases in clinic, ward, or community settings.
