Clinical Impression: Chronic Tophaceous Gout w/ anemia and chronic kidney disease
Anemia due to: Hawkey CJ. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug gastropathy: causes and treatment. Scand J Gastroenterol Suppl. 1996;220:124-7. CATHERINE S. SNIVELY, M.D.,et.al. Chronic Kidney Disease: Prevention and Treatment of Common Complications. Am Fam Physician. 2004 Nov 15;70(10):1921-1928.
Main Diagnosis Acute gouty arthritis on top of chronic tophaceous gout Ruptured tophi with secondary bacterial infection of the foot with osteomyelitis Anemia secondary to occult GI bleeding probably due to NSAID gastropathy Chronic kidney disease secondary to gout

Present Medications • Omeprazole 40 mg tab OD • Amlodipine 10 mg tab OD • Clindamycin 300 mg cap q 6 • Ciprofloxacin 250 mg tab BID • Given Colchicine as follows to treat acute gout: 2 tabs now then 1 tablet after 6 hours • Cold compress x 10-15 mins TID on inflamed joints
Gout • Metabolic or renal disease • Middle-aged to elderly men and postmenopausal women • Results from hyperuricemia • Characterized by episodes of inflammatory arthritis due to deposition of Monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in and around joints
Hyperuricemia • Serum urate concentration >6.8 mg/dl (men >7 mg/dl, women >6 mg/dl) • Causes • Increased urate production • Decreased uric acid excretion • Combination of the two
Risk factors of Gout Group C1 • Obesity • Alcohol use • Family Hx • History of Kidney Disease • Diet • Others • Medications (low dose Aspirin, Pyrazinamide, Ethambutol) • Lead exposure • Hypertension • Diabetes • Hyperlipidemia • Arterioslcerosis
Stages of Gout • Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia: • (-) symptoms, • uric acid levels are high and it needs to be taken care of so that the uric acid does not precipitate out of blood and then become crystallized in kidneys or the joints. • Acute gout or acute gouty arthritis: • Uric acid begins to crystallize and deposits in joint spaces • (+) pain and swelling
Intercritical gout: • attack of gout has subsided • no symptoms but it is because the body's immune system is stabilizing itself for more attacks on the uric acid crystals which form because of the high concentration of blood • chronic gout: • worst and most destructive stage of the disease • permanent damage to the joints • kidney damage
Tophi: Join deformities Carpal tunnel syndrome (flexor tendons of hands and wrist) Compression of spinal cord and peripheral nerves
Gouty Nephropathy Severity correlates with the duration and magnitude of the elevation of the serum uric acid concentration presence of crystalline deposits of uric acid and monosodium urate salts in kidney parenchyma obstruction and inflammation to lymphocytic infiltration, foreign-body giant cell reaction,fibrosis
Nephrolithiasis In gout - urine pH is usually <5.4 In acidic urine, the protonated form of uric acid predominates and is soluble in urine only in concentrations of 100 mg/L. >100mg supersaturation stones
NSAIDS Weak organic acids that inhibit biosynthesis of prostaglandins Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, antiplatelet effects Ex: Aspirin, Ibuprofen
Prostaglandin Regulate the release of mucosal bicarbonate and mucus Inhibit parietal cell secretion Important in maintaining mucosal blood flow Epithelial cell restitution
