Objectives • Summarize the approach to the diagnosis of patients
with musculoskeletal disease in 4 easy steps • Use the 2015 Gout Classification Criteria with
confidence • Understand the value of uric acid for both gout and
OA • Ask the appropriate questions to be able to screen
patients with gout • Be confident about urate lowering therapy and
concomitant prophylaxis of gout

CASE • A 54 y.o male family driver consults for pain in the
left knee on going up and down the stairs, for 2 years now. About 2 months ago, after driving long distance, the pain got worse and he now limps when walking. There is no fever or malaise.
• Joint PE: left knee is swollen, warm, + bulge sign. There is 2+ tenderness and limited flexion and extension. The right knee appears normal, but is positive for fine crepitations.

CASE • A 48 y.o businessman came home from a party the
night prior to consult and woke up with an inflamed right big toe. He was feverish and could not walk. He admitted to drinking beer and had “pulutan” of kilawin. He had a similar episode 4 years prior, lasting 2 days.
• Joint PE: Swollen, erythematous, warm and exquisitely tender right 1st MTP joint.
![Page 7: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
CASE • A 45 y.o. housewife consulted for swelling and
pain of both wrists and small hand joints of 4 months duration. Pain is worse in the morning, associated with stiffness lasting for 1 hour. She takes Alaxan tablets as needed, with temporary pain relief.
• Joint PE: Swelling , warmth and tenderness of both wrists, and 1st and second PIPs of both hands. Other joints and systemic PE are normal

CASE • A 35 y.o. female PA of a famous celebrity consulted
for swelling and pain of the R wrist and 4 weeks duration. Pain is worse at the end of the day, especially after a long day of writing, texting and carrying her boss’ stuff. She takes Arcoxia tablets as needed, with temporary pain relief.
• Joint PE: Tenderness of R wrist, with pain on thumb flexion, digit flexion and sharp ulnar deviation of the wrist. No Pain on PROM. Other joint PE are normal

THE FUNDAMENTALS: KNOWING WHAT TO ASK
![Page 10: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Back to the Basics
• A • C • I • N
![Page 11: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A: Is it Articular or Non-Articular? • Active ROM • Passive ROM
• PAIN – Articular: +AROM,
+ PROM – Non-articular:
+AROM, -PROM
• Both OA and Gout have articular manifestations
• Gout may be non-articular in the case of gouty bursitis
![Page 12: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
C: Is is Chronic or Acute? • Chronic: >= 6
weeks • Acute <6 weeks
• OA: usually chronic (pain on most days of the week)
• Gout: Acute, episodic; may be chronic if with tophi
![Page 13: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
I: Is it Inflammatory or Non-Inflammatory
• Inflammatory: calor, rubor, dolor, tumor, loss of function (LOM)
• OA: non-inflammatory, except when in flare (rare)
• Gout: inflammatory
![Page 14: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
N: How Many (Number) Joints are Involved?
• 1: monoarticular • 2-3: oligoarticular • >3: polyarticular
• OA: usually polyarticular – hand, knee, hip, lumbar spine
• Gout: usually starts as mono- or oligoarticular, eventually becomes polyarticular

Uric acid levels correlate with OA severity • Uric acid (UA) is known to activate the NLRP3 • NLRP3 (also known as NALP3) inflammasome à IL-18 and IL-1β. • Synovial fluid uric acid was strongly correlated with synovial fluid IL-18
and IL-1β. • Synovial fluid uric acid and IL-18 were strongly and positively associated
with OA severity as measured by both radiograph and bone scintigraphy • Synovial fluid IL-1β was associated with OA severity but only by
radiograph. • Synovial fluid IL-18 was associated with a 3x change in OA severity, on
the basis of the radiograph. • Synovial fluid uric acid is a marker of knee OA severity. • There is potential involvement of the innate immune system in OA
pathology and OA progression.

OA Pathogenesis by Phenotype
![Page 42: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
IN A NUTSHELL, WHAT SHOULD I ASK?
![Page 43: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Threee clinical clues/questions (you should ask)
• EPISODIC • EXQUISITE PAIN/TENDERNESS • EXACERBATING FACTORS – Diuretics, IV Heparin,
Cyclosporine – Trauma, alcohol ingestion,
surgery, dietary excess, hemorrhage, foreign protein therapy, infections, radiographic contrast exposure
– 20% of hospitalized patients develop a gout attack (esp if with previous Hx)
![Page 44: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
EPISODIC: Sample Questions • Ang pagsakit po ba ng kasukasuan nyo: tuloy-
tuloy o pasulpot-sulpot lang? • Ang sakit po ba ay araw-araw o umaatake lamang? • Pag sumakit po ba, bumabalik sa normal pag
nakainom kayo ng gamot o pagkalipas ng ilang araw kahit walang gamot?
• May mga araw po ba na walang sakit at normal lang o walang limitasyon ang galaw ng kasukasuan nyo?
![Page 45: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
EXQUISITE PAIN: Sample Questions • Pag sumakit or umatake ang sakit, nahihirapan ba
kayong igalaw yun masakit na kasukasuan? • Hindi nyo na ba naigagalaw or hindi na ba kayo
nakakalakad sa mga araw na inaatake ng sakit? • Malubha po ba ang sakit na nagkakaroon ng
pagkakataon na ayaw nyong pahipo o pahawakan yun masakit na bahagi? Masakit ba kahit mahipan o madampian lang?
![Page 46: Gout Ba or OA Lang SLU Postgrad 01 July 2016](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042706/587ec5ce1a28abf37b8b6053/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
EXACERBATING FACTORS: Sample Questions
• May nakain o nainom ka ba bago mo naramdaman yun sakit?
• Nangyari na ba ito dati? • Umiinom po ba kayo ng gamot para sa high blood
(diuretics) , sa sakit sa puso (Aspirin), o sa gout (Allopurinol or Febuxostat)?
• Naospital po ba kayo kamakailan? • Malakas ba kayo uminom ng alak o soft drinks?
