MS1: Gout and SLE Flashcards
what is gout
associated w hyperuricemia caused by deposition of monosodium urate crystals or MSU
inflammatory arthritis - group 2
discuss primary gout
due to inherited inborn error ng purine metabolism kaya mag kaka hyperuricemia
discuss secondary gout
from another disease or from the therapy of it
associated w neoplasm, renal disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia or metabolic disorders
how does hyperuricemia cause gout
excess uric acid in blood forms crystals that collects joint = painful inflammatory response
what are the stages of classic gout
asymptomatic hyperuricemia
acute intermittent gout
advanced gout
discuss asymptomatic hyperuricemia
pag more than 2 standard dev na
female: > 6 mg/dL
male: > 7 mg/dL
so positive bloodwork but wala pa symptoms
when does acute intermittent gout occur
men: 40-60 yo
women: menopause
presentations of acute intermittent gout
sudden warmth, swelling, erythema and pain of joint - 4 cardinal signs
monoarticular tas sa 1st MTP - podagra
systemic symptoms - fever, chills and malaise
other possible joints affected by gout
midfoot, ankle, heel and knee - LE
less common sa UE - wrist, finger and elbow
discuss acute intermittent stage
sa early stages episodes are not as frequent mga years pero evetually it becomes more frequent, longer and more joints
may mga intercritical period
what is intercritical period
period where nawala yung symtoms but may MSU crystals padin sa synovial fluid
when is it considered advanced gout
pag more than 10 yrs na ng acute intermittent gout
discuss advanced gout
aka chronic tophaceous gout - may tophi or parang nodules
associated w:
early onset
untreated gout - 4 attacks per yr
where are subcutaneous tophi commonly found
fingers
wrist
ears
knees olecranon
pressure points
also pwede s kidney, heat and sclerae
discuss the pathogensis of gout
either may overproduction or underexcretion ng MSU
causes of overproduction of MSU
inherited enzyme defect
malignancy, psoriasis and obesity
drugs and food rich in purine
causes of underexcretion of MSU
renal problems, dehydration, salt restriction
hypertension
hyperthyroid or hypo
diabetes
ethanol, diuretics, laxative
SSx of gout
acute monoarticular arthritis - asymmetric
magising from pain and pressure from clothes in masakit
redness and swelling
low grade fever and chills
pwede mag resolve - masama sa blood
90% sa 1st MTP
how to differentiate heberdens from gout
gout is read and whitish tas pag inopen may crystals
other sites of initial gout
instep
ankle
heel
knee
wrist
what makes chronic gout a chronic gout
may tophi sa bone or skin
discuss tophi
higher serum rate = more tophi deposited
typical locations of tophi
ear
elbow
finger
discuss diagnosis process for gout
has swelling, pain or tenderness in joint or bursa > MSU + = gout
paf naman MSU negative proceed to criteria
if wala swelling pain or tenderness or meron pero sa lumbar or shoulder = not gout
discuss gout classification criteria - patter of joint/bursa involvement
0 - other than ankle, midfoot of 1st MTP
1 - ankle or midfoot
2 - MTP1
discuss gout classification criteria - symptomatic episodes
erythema, cant bear touch or difficulty in walking/use joint
0 - none
1 - one
2 - two
3 - three
discuss gout classification criteria - time course of episode
0 - no episodes
1 - one
2 - recurrent
discuss gout classification criteria - tophus
0 - absent
4 - present
discuss gout classification criteria - lab findinfs
basta pag more than 6 mg/dL nag kaka score na
nag nnegative score if negative findings
discuss gout classification criteria - imaging
4 - evidence of urate deposition
4 - gout related damge
discuss imaging for gout
preferred ang CT scan over xray kase di kita sa xray and uric crystals
