Gout and pseudogout | Muscular-skeletal diseases | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

Gout attacks tend to occur in the cooler parts of the body, and in areas where there is relatively more trauma, so the foot is the most common location of gout attacks. While the classic example of gout is the great toe joint, but it is commonly seen in the heels, ankles, knees, and around joint capsule, tendons and other structures, too.

I woke up one morning 2:00 am with my big toe right foot all swollen and painful. Went to A&E and sat there until 6am . Finally I Was seen by a Doctor all she did was laugh at my big toe told me I had gout and prescribed tablets. Controlled future attacks by not eating offal and game.

The mayo clinic has developed a test (2011) that doesn't require the needles. They developed it because the needle method wasn't reliable enough

Should at least mention xanthine oxidase inhibitors (febuxostat, allopurinol), urucosurics (probenecid), and microtubule inhibitors (colchicine) in gout treatment. Also more of the biochemistry/pathophysiology, some conditions associated with elevated uric acid (Lesch Nyhan, Von Gierke). It would be nice if KhanAcademy would invest just a little more in filling these videos out so they might be useful to med students reviewing for USMLE, for example. At this level they're not adequate for USMLE study, but it wouldn't take much more to get there.

May I suggest mentioning the xanthine oxidase inhibitors in treatment of gout?

[@ireneking2784]

I agree

Why does the precipitation happen on the big toe (1st Metatarsophalangeal)?

[@trexinvert]

Taurine(2grams in a can of "most" 16 oz energy drink) is bad for pseudo gout. Anybody else experience this?

[@chazwyman8951]

I wonder how long it will be before the medical profession will catch up to the fact the eating sugar, especially fructose is a massive generator of uric acid? I iwsh I had known this years ago, it would have saved my a lot of suffering. "Nature wants is to be fat" Richard Johnson ,and "Drop Acid" David Perlmutter explain the Polyl pathway how uric acid is a direct by product of eating sweet stuff.
