diseases caused by calcium disorder
CPPD (Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate) crystal deposition disease causes pain, swelling and sometimes redness and/or heat in one or many joints. It is defined by the presence of a distinctive type of crystal: calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD). Hyperparathyroidism: A condition caused by an overactive or hyperactive parathyroid gland in which there is too much calcium in the blood; this can lead to CPPD crystal deposition disease as well as bone and kidney problems.
When blood-calcium levels are too high, the parathyroid glands produce less PTH. But sometimes one or more of these glands produce too much hormone, leading to abnormally high levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) and low levels of phosphorus in your blood.hen blood-calcium levels are too high, the parathyroid glands produce less PTH.
