Hyperuricemia and Gout • Hyperuricemia– M:>7mg/dL, F:>6 mg/dL • Monosodium urate: solubility: 7mg/dL at 37℃ • Annual incidence of gout: increases with [UA] <7 mg/dl: 0.1% 7~9mg/dl: 0.5% >9 mg/dl: 4.5%
Course of hyperuricemia and gout Asymptomatic hyhperuricemia Acute gouty arthritis Asymtomatic, but 12.5~90%仍有crystal with mild leukocyhtosis in the joint Intercritical period Acute gouty arthritis about 11 years, if untreated Chronic Tophaceous gout
Criteria for diagnosis of gout Triad 1.Acute monoarthritis 2. Hyperuricemia 3. Response to Colchicine
How UA crystal triggers acute inflammation? • Unclear • There may be still crystals in the joints during asymptomatic intercritical period • Drug that induces acute increase or decrease of serum [UA] may induces acute gout.
Precipitation of acute gout • Acute ↑or↓ of serum[UA] • Causes of hyperuricemia • Increased UA production or intake • Decreased UA excretion
The elimination of uric acid • 1/3 Extrarenal: saliva, gstric juice, pancreatic secretion, bowel secretion • 2/3 Renal: • Glomerular filtration • Early proximal tubular reabsorption: 90~93% • Tubular secretion • Post-secretorytubular reabsorption
Drugs as preipitating factors • Drugs that ↑or↓serum [UA] acutely →acute gout attack • The occurrence of gout after the initiation of antihyperuricemic therapy is well established.
Salicylates • Low dose(<2g/day)— inhibit tubular secretion of uric acid • Higher dose– inhibit tubular absorption>secretion
Alcohol • ↑ATP turnover • Dehydration • Beer: guanosine
TPN as a rare precipitating factor • ↓serum[UA] 3 mg/dl • Maximum reduction occurring during the first 3 days. • ↑urinary excretion: Urate reabsorption inhibited by infusion of amino acids • ↓ production of UA: purine-free TPN • Extracellular fluid expansion : stimulation antidiuretic hormone
