Q

M. Probenecid. what group?

A

it inhibits organic anion transporter (OAT) in the kidney, which both inhibits reabsorption of uric acid AND secretion of beta-lactams –> therefore can be used TO MAINTAIN beta-lactam levels in serum.

Q

UW. tophus formation.
Persistent hyperuricemia –> chronic gout with tophi formation

A

.

24
Q

UW. tophus formation.
where occur?

A

Painless cutaneous lesions, commonly occuring over:
Joints of hands and feet (most common)
Helix of ears
Olecranon bursa

25
Q

UW. tophus formation.
what deposits? in general info?

A

Excessive monosodium urate (uric acid) deposition in joints or soft tissue –> chronic inflammation and nodular deformities of the affected tissue

Can cause ulcers

26
Q

UW. tophus formation.
xray and aspiration?

A

xray - may show errosions of adjacent bone

fluid - white, chalky material with high levels of MSU crystal visible on microscopy

27
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT.
what deposits?

A

Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease

28
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT. what seen under polorized light?

A

rhomboid-shape blue (POSITIVELY birefringent) crystals under polarized light.

29
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT.
what are 2 biggest risk factors?

A

Hemochromatosis
Primary hyperparathyroidism

30
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT.
what 2 cases USMLE will give?

A
  1. Monoarthritis of large joint
  2. Osteoarthritis-like presentation of hands in sb with hemochromatosis or primary hyperparathyroidism
31
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT.
Tx? acute

A

same as ,,regular” gout

32
Q

M. PSEUDOGOUT.
Tx? chronic

A

treat underlying condition, since xantine oxidase inhibitors are clearly unnrelated

33

Inflammatory effusions (15-30k cells)
CPPD crystals (blue = positive birefringence)
Chondrocalcinosis on imaging

37
Q

UW. PSEUDOGOUT. what seen on imaging?

A

Chondrocalcinosis on imaging

38
Q

UW. PSEUDOGOUT. Tx on UW?

A

mehlman = same as for gout

UW: NSAIDS; intra-articular glucocorticoids, colchicine

39
Q

M. what is BPC?

LY, but know if want 280 on step2

A

Basic calcium phosphate deposition disease.

40
Q

M. BPC presentation?

A

presents as Milwaukee shoulder, which is a cold (non-inflammatory) effusion of the shoulder

41
Q

UW table - prevention of future gout attacks

A
  • Weight loss to achieve BMI <25 kg/m2
  • Low-fat diet
  • Decreased seafood & red meat intake
  • Protein intake preferably from vegetable & low-fat dairy products

  • Avoidance of beer & distilled spirits
  • Avoidance of diuretics when possible
42
Q

UW. gout. Q. 2 mechanisms in general?

A

Overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid

43
Q

UW. gout. Q. what myeloproliferative was in case?

A

polycythemia vera (PV)

Got acute gout + PV symptoms: headache, pruritus, hepatosplenomegaly

44
Q

UW. gout. Q. prevent?

A

allopurinol

45
Q

UW. gout. Q. risk factors –> need lifestyle modifications. What incr. and decr. risk of attack? foods, drinks

A

Incr. risk: red meat and sea food;

Incr. risk: fructose, refined sugar; ALCOHOL.

decr. risk: proteins from vegetarian food and low-fat dairy sources.

46
Q

UW. gout. Q. smoking and coffee?

A

Smoking and coffee (not tea) => decr. risk of podagra

47
Q

UW. gout. Q. what drugs incr. risk?

A

Thiazides, loop diuretics, aspirin, BAB => incr. risk of gouty attack.

48
Q

UW. gout. Q. what drugs decr. risk?

A

Losartan and CCB, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin => lower uric acid => reduce risk.

49
Q

UW. acute gout. Q. what joint?

A

Sudden onset in 1st metatarsophalangeal joint = acute gout

50

UW. chronic gout (tophaceous gout). joints?

A

multiple, hands, knees, feet

51
