hyperuricemia that results the formation of uric

acid crystals depositing in especially joints and

tissues of the body which causes inflammation.

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

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

CLINICAL PRESENTATION.

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

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
