Crystal Diseases and Keritoconjunctivitis, Told, Part I Flashcards
what are the types of crystals that can cause crystal disease
monosodium urate calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate basic Ca PO4 Ca oxalate Cholesterol Crystals Monoclonal Proteins
do apatite crystals react to polarized light
no
terminal tuft calcification on tip of Distal phalanx
oxylosis from Ca oxylate cyrstals
which type of crystal high risk of nephrolythiasis
Ca oxalate
lipid crystals(cholesterol) are seen in joint effusions with what
RA and chronic infection
what Ab do inflammatory cells produce that activate synovial fibroblasts
S100A4
MonoNa urate
gout
Ca pyrophosphate
pseudogout
risk factors for hyperuricemia and gout
age and body mass degree of duration of hyperuricemia middle age male post menopausal women
hyperuricemia is a marker for
atherogenesis
Urate crystals in a joint activate what
IgG coating and Apo E coating
IgG coating of urate crystals stimulates what
inflammatory cells to secrete cytokines
Apo E coating on urate crystals ahs what effect
inhibits inflammatory cell secretion of cytokines
majority of hyperuriceima is due to what
decreased renal excretion from impaired fuction, dehydration, acidosis, diuretics, low dose ASA, etc
what can increase urate production
ethanol myeloproliferative disorders ineffective erythropoiesis widespread psoriasis cytotoxic drugs glycogen storage disease G5PD defieincy HGPRTase deficiency
when give cytotoxic drug to someone with Hx of gout
have to give something that shuts down urate production
best predictor of an acute gout attack
uric acid levels
what is the name of first gouty attack
podagra
begining of gout presents how
abrupt onset monoarticular changes to polyarticular with time
tophi gout
chronic urate overload
- birefringent crystals
MSU yellow in direction of polarized light
Stage I gout
aSx no arthritis
