Q

Pathogenesis of Gout

A

Hyperuricemia
Urate precipitates in joints forming crystals

  1. Activation of complement and kinen system
    Neutrophil chemotaxis
    Release LTB4, prostaglandins and free radicals causes tissue inflamm.
    Neutrophils phagocytose crystals, causing lysis of neutrophils .
    Release of lysosomal enzymes leads to tissue inflaCammation.
  2. Phagocytosis by macrophages
    Leads to release of IL-1Beta and other cytokines in joint (resulting in further neutrophil chemotaxis)
    Release of proteases leads to tissue inflammation.
