Abstract

Providers who care for renal transplant recipients should be aware of the possibility of tacrolimus-associated CPPD in patients who present with arthritis. In the case presented, a delayed diagnosis led to the progression of symptoms and avoidable disability, underscoring the need for greater clinical awareness of this condition within the transplant community.
