    Title Gout and Hyperuricemia
    Activity No No.
    Introduction WHAT IS GOUT AND HYRURECEMIA?
    Gout is a condition characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate
    crystals in the joints or soft tissue. The four phases of gout include
    asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout and
    chronic tophaceous gout. The peak incidence occurs in patients 30 to 50 years
    old, and the condition is much more common in men than in women. Patients
    with asymptomatic hyperuricemia do not require treatment, but efforts should
    be made to lower their urate levels by encouraging them to make changes in
    diet or lifestyle. Acute gout most commonly affects the first metatarsal joint of
    the foot, but other joints are also commonly involved. Definitive diagnosis
    requires joint aspiration with demonstration of birefringent crystals in the
    synovial fluid under a polarized light microscope. Treatment includes
    nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicine, corticosteroids and
    analgesics. In patients without complications, NSAID therapy is preferred.
    .
    .
    Objective(s) At the end of the activity, the student should be able to:
    1. Have knowledge about gout and hyperuricemia.
    2. Will know the treatment and proper management of gout and
    hyperuricemia.
