Hidden gout- Ultrasound findings in patients with musculo-skeletal problems and hyperuricemia
The goal of this study was to investigate the frequency of gout-specific ultrasonography findings in a cohort of hyperuricemic patients with various musculo-skeletal complaints. A blinded examiner regarding the patients' clinical and laboratory assessment performed standardized ultrasound examinations of 12 joints in 74 individuals with diverse musculo-skeletal complaints. Gout-specific changes...
متن کاملCorrelations Between Hyperuricemia and Metabolic Syndrome
In recent years metabolic syndrome is a major worldwide health problem, affecting the population and the individual, both by increasing prevalence and the cardiovascular risk (CV) it determines. Gout and hypeuricemia may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Our study aims to evaluate the association of asymptomatic hyperuricemia and gout with cardiometabolic risk factors. We invest...
متن کاملIdentification of monosodium urate crystal deposits in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia using dual-energy CT
Objectives Dual-energy CT (DECT) scan is a sensitive and specific tool used to visualise and quantify monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposits in the joints. Few studies have examined MSU crystal deposits in patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (ie, hyperuricemia in the absence of gout) using DECT. Methods We conducted a prospective, non-interventional cross-sectional study to detect MSU c...
متن کاملCan ultrasonography make identification of asymptomatic hyperuricemic individuals at risk for developing gouty arthritis more crystal clear?
Hyperuricemia is the most important risk factor for gouty arthritis. The quandary is how to predict which patient with asymptomatic hyperuricemia will develop gouty arthritis. Can ultrasonography help identify hyperuricemic individuals at risk for developing gouty arthritis? In the previous issue of Arthritis Research & Therapy, Pineda and colleagues found ultrasonography changes suggestive of ...
متن کاملRole of Community Pharmacies for the Detection of Potentially Inappropriate Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor Prescriptions
BACKGROUND Xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitors are largely the treatment of choice for gout, but allopurinol is often inappropriately used for asymptomatic hyperuricemia. There is little evidence that allopurinol is useful in preventing cardiovascular diseases and therapeutic decisions must the balance the expected benefit with the potential harm. OBJECTIVE To investigate the appropriateness of ...
