The deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints is a type of arthritis called . This usually happens if there are high levels of acid in the blood. The risk factors are and (one of the building blocks of DNA) rich food. The most common occurence is at the big joint. Symptoms include (swelling of the joint), (general ill-feeling), and (crystals.) These crystals are visible under polarized light microscopy. The primary way to test for this is to take fluid in the joint, gram stain it to rule out septic arthritis, and test the fluid for levels of uric acid.
The treatment plan is for what? 1. NSAIDs 2. Colchicine 3. Corticosteroids
chronic gout
acute gout
goutisis
Other than lifestyle changes to reduce urate levels, we give those with the drug allopurinol.
Accumulation of monosodium urate monohydrate crystals in joints causes pseudogut as well.
