Epidemiology o United States statistics-The National Health and Nutrit ion Examination Survey(2007-2008)estimated a new pre valence for gout and hyperuricemia. Gout rates were repo rted as 5. 9% among men and 2% among women (etrog enic hormones have a mild uricosuric effect). The prevale nce rate of hyperuricemia was noted as 21.2% for men an d 21.6% for women Racial differences in incidence-In the United States, t he incidence of gout is 3.11 per 1000 person-years in Afri can Americans and 1.82 per 1000 person years in whites -Zhu Y, Pandya BJ, Choi HK.

Epidemiology As a rule, uric acid levels are elevated for 20 years before the onset of gout In men, the peak age of onset of gout in men is in the four th to sixth decade of life. However, onset may occur in me n in their early 20s who have a genetic predisposition and lifestyle risk factors. In women, peak age of onset is in the sixth to eighth decade of life Tophi are typically detectable clinically approximately 10 y ears after the first gout attack Olaniyi-Leyimu BY. Consider gout in patients with risk factors, regardless of age. Am Fam Physician, Jul 15 2008, 78(2): 176 院

Pathophysiology Gout can be considered a disorder of metabolism that allows uric acid/urate to accumulate in blood and tissues. When tissues becor aturated,., forming crystals. In addition, thE CryS are less soluble under acid conditions y reactive urate crystals are normally coated with serum protei ns(apolipoprotein apo]E or apo B)that physically inhibit th e binding of the crystals to cell receptors. A gout attack may be triggered by either a release of uncoated crystals(eg, due t o partial dissolution of a microtophus caused by changing ser um urate levels) or precipitation of crystals in a supersaturate d microenvironment (eg, release of urate due to cellular dam age) 浙医二院

Clinical---History Podagra is the initial joint manifestation in ca-o gout ca ses. Eventually, it is involved in of cases Other than the great toe, the most common sites of gouty arthritis are the ankle, wrist, and knee. In early gout, only 1 or 2 joints are usually involved Gout attacks begin abruptly and reach maximum intensit y within 8-12 hours. The joints are and exquisite y tender; even a bed sheet on the swollen joint is uncomf ortable. Untreated, the first attacks resolve spontaneously in less than 2 weeks.

Other than the great toe, the most common sites of gouty arthritis are the ankle, wrist, and knee. In early gout, only 1 or 2 joints are usually involved. Gout attacks begin abruptly and reach maximum intensit y within 8-12 hours. The joints are red, hot, and exquisitel y tender; even a bed sheet on the swollen joint is uncomf ortable. Untreated, the first attacks resolve spontaneously in less than 2 weeks. Gout initially presents as polyarticul ar arthritis in 10% of patients
Clinical---History The pattern of symptoms in untreated gout changes over time. The attacks become more polyarticular. Although m ore joints may become involved, inflammation in a given j oint may become less intense. More proximal and upper. extremity joints become involved. Attacks occur more freq uently and last longer Eventually, patients may develop chronic polyarticular art hritis. Patients with gout are profoundly more likely to dev elop renal stones 浙医二院
