2、arthritis that is characterized initially by acute attacks of active synovitis related to the presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the joints and periarticular soft tissues.Accounting for 3-7 in panarthritisMen40 years oldGenetic predisposition,Background,Most classically in the first meta

12、eatment,ColchicineNot an accurate tool to diagnose gout(psoriatic arthritis&pseudogout)Cold applicationsA useful adjuvant treatment(RA),Conclusion,Plain radiographs are less sensitive to early changes in chronic gout than other imaging techniques. CT may be the most specific imaging technique when evaluating intraosseous lesions, while MRI could be the preferred technique to evaluate chronic synovial involvement.The presence of structural changes in radiographs correlates with poor function, and is associated with irreversibility of changes.,
