Probenecid also has been shown to affect ATP release, leading to the suggestion that ATP release involves an organic anion transporter. Other pharmacological evidence and the observation of dye upta...
متن کاملMR imaging of tophaceous gout revisited.
Gout is the most common form of microcrystalline arthropathy, and does not usually pose a diagnostic challenge when patients have a typical presentation, appropriate biochemical picture and classical radiographic appearance. However, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is increasingly used as the first-line imaging modality in patients with first presentation of joint pain or mass, and tophaceous g...
متن کاملGout in the cervical spine: MR pattern mimicking diskovertebral infection.
We report the MR features of a surgically proved cervical spine involved with gouty tophi in a patient with a long history of hyperuricemia. Tophi appeared as sharply delineated areas of low signal intensity on T1 and T2 MR images and showed intense and homogeneous signal enhancement on post-contrast images.
متن کاملGout. Imaging of gout: findings and utility
Imaging is a helpful tool for clinicians to evaluate diseases that induce chronic joint inflammation. Chronic gout is associated with changes in joint structures that may be evaluated with diverse imaging techniques. Plain radiographs show typical changes only in advanced chronic gout. Computed tomography may best evaluate bone changes, whereas magnetic resonance imaging is suitable to evaluate...
متن کاملGout. Epidemiology of gout
Gout is the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthropathy. Several studies suggest that its prevalence and incidence have risen in recent decades. Numerous risk factors for the development of gout have been established, including hyperuricaemia, genetic factors, dietary factors, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, obesity, diuretic use and chronic renal disease. Osteoarthri...
