Q

what are factors that contribute to gout attacks in first metatarsal-phalangeal joint?

A
  • joint has lower temp
  • physical trauma can cause acidosis
  • nocturnal intraarticular dehydration may caused nocturnal crtyallization and nocturnal onset of pain
  • presence of altered matrix proteins, exposed cartilage fragments, and nucleating debris . . OA or elderly pts

Q

how does colchicine work?

A
  • binds to tubulin and depolymerizes microtubules

- Disrupts granulocyte function (phagocytosis, migration); inhibits LTB4 formation

Q

Corticosteroid use and gout?

A
  • long term risk such as osteoporosis and infection
  • short term (3-7 days) risk low
  • adverse effect on BP and blood sugar can be a concern for HTN and uncontrolled DM pts

Q

Drugs for hyperuricemica and Tophaceous gout?

mechanism of action?

A
  • Allopurinol and Febuxostat: Xanthine oxidase inhibitors, inhibit urate biosynthesis
  • Probenecid* and sulfinpyrazone: Uricosuric agents (URAT1 inhibitors), enhance urate excretion
  • Pegloticase and Rasburicase: Recombinant urate oxidase enzyme, enhance urate metabolism

Q

Febuxostat vs allopurinol

A
  • not purine analog
  • as effective as allopurinol at reaching <6 mg/dL
  • better and different adverse effect profile (liver function) vs allopurinol
  • Can be used in pts with renal disease
17
Q

what happens in initial phase of ULT

A

-early increase in acute gout attacks . . . contributes to non compliance

18
Q

what is recommended to add to initial ULT

A

-oral colchicine or NSAID to decrease acute gout

19
Q

clinical complications of allopurinol and Febuxostat

A
  • inhibit metabolism of Xanthine drugs used in cancer chemo, immunosuppression, asthma conferring risk of overexposure and require dose adjustments
  • 6-mercaptopurine
  • Azathioprine
  • Theophylline
20
Q

Black box warning specific for Allopurinol

A
  • not for asymptomatic hyperuricemia

- discontinue at first appearance of skin rash or other allergic signs

21
Q

what is the genotype that confers risk for hypersensitivity reaction to allopurinol

A

HLA-B*5801

22
Q

what part of tubule mediates urate reabsorption

A

proximal

23
Q

Probenecid blocks URAT1 on what membrane

A

apical

24
Q

Uricosuric agents should be avoided in who

A

-pts with risk/history of nephrolithiasis or uric acid nephropathy

25
Q

ULT and acute gout?

A

no benefit and should general not be initiated during an acute attack

26
Q

paradox of Aspirin administration for acute gout

A
  • do not used standard dose
  • it blocks tubular secretion more than tubular absorption so it aggravates hyperuricemia
  • need very high dose. >3 g/day
27
Q

when is pegloticase appropriate for ULT

A

severe disease, failure, or intolerance to others

28
Q

Pegloticase and Rasburicase augment metabolic degradation of uric acid into what

A

Allantoin

29
Q

Pegloticase indicated for hyperuricemia associated with what

A

malignancy . . tumor lysis syndrome

30
Q

dosing for Pegloticase?

A

IV . . Q 2 weeks

31
Q

Black box warning for both Pegloticase and Rasburicase?

A

-hypersenstivity

32
Q

Black box warning for only Rasburicase?

A
  • hemolysis

- contraindicated in pts with G6PD deficiency
