increased purine synthesis, decreased
renal excretion
A high dietary intake of purine, alcohol
intake
Increase uric acid in the blood
(hyperuricemia)
Deposition of uric acid into the joints
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

Diagnostic Test
Medical History and Physical Examination

Extremity X-ray
Diagnostic Test con’t
Joint fluid analysis

Surgical Treatment• If gout symptom have occurred off and on without treatment, uric acid
crystals may have built up in the joints to form gritty, chalky nodules called tophi.
Surgical Treatment con’t
This tophi can cause infection pain, pressure, and deformed joints.
Surgery will recommend by do the excision to remove the tophi
Complication
Recurrent gout Advanced gout
Kidney damage
Joint damage
Tophi
Kidney stone
NURSING CARE PLANNursing Diagnosis: Acute pain related to swelling joints
Goal: Pain will be relieved
Nursing Intervention:•The pain should be assessed on an ongoing basis using a scale of one to 10 to describe the severity.•Use cognitive therapy such as creative visualization to distract the patient from his pain.•Apply cold packs to inflamed joints to ease discomfort and reduce swelling.•Encourage the patient to perform techniques that promote rest and relaxation.
NURSING CARE PLAN con’t
Nursing Diagnosis: Activity Intolerance related to pain
Goal: Patient can do the activity daily living (ADL)
Nursing Intervention:•Evaluate orcontinuously monitor degree of joint inflammation or pain.•Assess the level of intolerance and assist the patient in activities she feels unable to perform.•Assist with activity passive rangeof motion.
NURSING CARE PLAN con’t
Nursing Diagnosis: Hyperthermia related to inflammatory process

Health Education
Eats enough carbohydrate
Avoid or Limit alcohol consumption
Limit meat and seafood intake
Avoid fatty foods
Avoid or Limit alcohol consumption
Do the moderate daily exercise
Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water each day.
Take the prescribed medication and follow doctor`s order
As we already know, gout is a monosodium urate, monohydrate crystal deposit disease.
In teenagers gout also known as Rich Man’s Disease, because gout can be created by eating an abundance amount of seafood.
Clinical pharmacists need to be empowered with knowledge to assist prescribing clinicians in order to maximize therapeutic outcomes when treating gout.
To achieve this goal, a foundation of new insights into the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia and gout has been reviewed.
Both nonpharmacologic modalities and pharmacologic therapies have been discussed so that greater patient adherence through medication counseling can be achieved.
