Gota

Abstract

Gout is clinically characterized by crisis of acute arthritis, painful with a trend to localized deposits of urates and accidentally evolution to chronic poliarthritis with possibility to renal failure. Adult males are mostly affected and sometimes the women after the menopause. The pain is responsive to colchicine in adequate dosis and this is useful as a diagnostic test. Several factors may be related to the primary gout crisis such as the trauma alimentary excess rich in purines, thiazidics, alcoolic beverages, surgeries. Colchicine is still the ideal therapeutics in some cases corticoids may be used in the interval of the crisis, allopurinol is indicated as inhibitor of the xantines-oxidases. © Copyright Moreira Jr. Editora.
