What is Gout.

? Gout is painful condition associated with

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

hyperuricemia that results the formation of uric

acid crystals depositing in especially joints and

tissues of the body which causes inflammation.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? HYPERURICEMIA --
?
? over production,
? under secretion or

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

combination of two.
GOUT.

? Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

hyperuricemia due to defective purine metabolism.

? Hyperuricemia can lead to deposition of sodium urate

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

crystals especially in joints and kidney.

? Types-
? Acute--
? it manifest as sudden onset severe

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

inflammation in a small precipitation of urate crystals

in joint spaces.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Chronic --
? when pain and stiffness patient persist in a joint

between attack, gout becomes chronic.
ETIOLOGY.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Gout occurs due to defective metabolism in

which uric acid is the end product.

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Main cause of hyperurecemia-
? Overproduction of uric acid
? Excessive turn over of nucleoproteins.
? Excessive dietry purines
? Excessive synthesis of uric acid to rare enzyme

defect enzyme mutation defect.

? Under excretion of uric acid
? Defect in renal excretion

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Inborn errors of metabolism.
Predisposing factor.

? Purine rich foods.
? Caffeine.

? Digits of the hand and feet ( most common).
? Bursa around elbows and knees.
? Achilles tendon
? Pinna of the ear.
CHRONIC GOUT.

? SIGN AND SYMPTOMS-
? Joint damage
? Joint pain
? Joint stiffness

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Articular cartilage may be destroyed resulting

in joint deformites.

? Patient may develop large subcutaneous

GOUT.

? Group of disorder presented with

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? 1.Hyperuricemia
? 2.uric acid nephrolithesis.
? 3. Acute inflammatory Arthritis.
? TWO TYPES--
? 1.primary gout--

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? due to defect in the enzymess that lead

to over production of purine nucleotides.

? Super activity PRPP synthetase.

? STAGES
? Stage-1 : Asymptomatic hyperuricemia
? Stage-2 : Acute gout attack
? Stage-3 : Intercritical period
? Stage-4 : chronic tophiceous gout.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION.

? Symptomps-
? Severe pain, swelling and warmth in the affected joints.
? The attack is usually monoarticular and the most

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

common sites are metatarsophalangeal joints of big

toe.(Acute gouty Arthritis).

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

? Signs-
? Affected joints are warm, red and swellen.
? Mild fever may present.
? Tophi ( mono-sodium urate crystals) may present in

chronic cases.
Laboratory.

? Hyperuricemia
? Biochemical hallmark of gout, but not by itself

diagnostic for gout.

? Leukocytosis.
? Increased ESR.

? Synovial Fluid-
? MSU needle
? ? like intracellular and extracellular crystals.
? Negatively birefringent needle shaped monosodium

? to detect the presence of medical condition

associated with gout/ hyperuricemia ?

? Full blood count/differential count--

? To exclude infection or myeloproliferative disease.
? Serum creatinine/ urea--

? To exclude hyperuricemia due to renal diseaese.
? Serum uric acid-hyperurecemia is not equivalent to gout.
? Blood glucose--- to exclude DM.
