Other crystalline arthropathy

In recent years, in addition to sodium urate, calcium pyrophosphate, and basic calcium phosphate crystals, other types of crystal deposits have been found in pathological specimens or synovial fluid, including oxalate, lipid crystals, and protein crystals. Some of them can also cause symptoms similar to arthritis, some are potentially pathogenic, and some have not even found a corresponding disease.
