Pathology Outlines - Gout and gouty arthritis
2023年1月11日 · Gout is a metabolic disorder that affects joints, bones, skin and soft tissues. It is associated with hyperuricemia, which causes saturation of monosodium urate and eventual formation of crystals within tissue.
Monoarticular Crystal Arthropathy of the Knee: Tophaceous Gout
2021年10月14日 · Tophaceous gout can mimic conditions such as septic arthritis or neoplasm which incorporate a completely different management approach. Also, atypical presentation of tophaceous gout can sometimes be misdiagnosed as internal derangement of the knee which may warrant unnecessary arthroscopy procedures.

2024年10月8日 · Gout is a crystal arthropathy due to deposition of monosodium urate crystals in and around the joints. Typically occurs in those above 40 years. There is a strong male predilection of 20:1, with this predilection more pronounced in younger and middle-aged adults. In the elderly, the gender distribution is more equal 13.

Radiologic Evidence of Symmetric and Polyarticular Monosodium …
Gout is a highly prevalent and painful inflammatory arthritis associated with hyperuricemia ().Early gout usually manifests as episodes of self-limited acute arthritis but can evolve over time into a condition associated with chronic inflammation of multiple joints, tophi (), and bone erosions (3, 4).This is because sustained hyperuricemia can lead …
When synovial fluid containing monosodium urate crys-tals of gout is viewed under a polarizing microscope, bright yellow needlelike negatively birefringent crystals are seen3 (Figure 1A). Since synovial fluid analysis is the definitive method for diagnosing gout, why then is synovial fluid aspiration not performed routinely in clin-ical practice?
(PDF) Evaluation of Diff Quik Staining for MSU Crystals in Gout
Commonly the term ‘gout’ implies ‘urate gout’, and an inflammatory response to crystal deposition in joints occurs referred to as ‘gouty arthritis’. The chronic disease results from the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joint structures and in periarticular sites in the form of tophi when there is an increased urate ...

The diagnosis of gout can be confirmed only on finding phagocytosed MSU crystals in synovial fluid obtained by joint aspiration or in gouty tophi. The clinical diagnosis of gout is suggested by symptoms of acute monoarthritis, most frequently affecting the first MTP joint, with periarticular erythema, which is most severe in the first 6 to 12 ...
