Purines
Purines are natural substances found in
all of the body's cells, and in virtually all
foods.
The reason for their widespread
occurrence is simple: purines provide part
of the chemical structure of our genes and
the genes of plants and animals
When cells die and get recycled, the
purines in their genetic material also get
broken down.
Uric acid is the chemical formed when
purines have been broken down
completely.
Hyperuricemia
 The condition when there are high
concentrations of uric acid in the blood.
 Serum levels of uric acid are >7mg/dL
(Normally, 2.4-6mg/dL in females; 3.4-
7mg/dL in males)
 At such a high level, uric acid tends to
aggregate and form crystals
 Primary Hyperuricemia: an innate
defect in purine metabolism and/or uric
acid excretion
 Secondary Hyperuricemia: high uric
acid levels due to medications/medical
conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis,
psoriasis, chronic lead poisoning
Most uric acid dissolves in blood and
travels to the kidneys, where it passes out
in urine.
 If your body produces too much uric acid
or doesn't remove enough if it, you can get
sick.
High levels of uric acid in the body is
called Hyperuricemia.

Uric Acid
Uric acid is the end product in purine metabolism
Excretion of uric acid removes nitrogenous wastes from
body
2/3 of uric acid made is excreted via kidneys; 1/3 via GI
tract
Urate: protonated form of uric acid
 Uric acid can accumulate due to:
 Overproduction of purine nucleotides
 Enhanced cell turnover (purine degradation)
 Decreased in purine salvage pathway
 Underexcretion of uric acid
 Predisposition to many diseases
 People may live with elevated uric acid levels
without experiencing any symptoms
GOUT
Gout and gouty arthritis
Transient attacks of acute arthritis initiated by
crystallization of urates and neutrophils, followed
by chronic gouty arthritis with tophi in joints and
urate nephropathy
Sites: 50% have initial attack in first
metatarsophalangeal joint; also ankles, heels,
knees, wrists, fingers, elbows
Gout
Gout
Affects less than 0.5% of the population.
It is a common condition, presenting in 1-4%
of adult men.
Due to familial disposition, incidence may be
as high as 80% in families affected by
disorder.
Alcohol and Gout
alcohol metabolism contributes to urate retention
some red wines contain purines or oxypurines,
which lead to an increased purine load
alcohol may contribute to obesity which is
associated with under excretion of uric acid
Patients with a history of gout are advised to
drink plenty of fluid, approximately 2 litres per
day (nonalcoholic).
GOUT
Primary gout (90%): idiopathic with
overproduction of uric acid
Hyperuricemia in the absence of other
disease
Asymptomatic hyperuricemia can precede gout
Impaired secretion by kidneys
Secondary gout (10%): increased nucleic acid
turnover due to
chronic renal disease,
HGPRT deficiency( hypoxanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency)
Tumors
Leukemias
Lymphomas
After chemotherapy
Alcoholism
Accelerated ATP catabolism

GOUT
Arthritis: synovial fluid is poorer solvent for sodium
urate than plasma, so with hyperuricemia.
 Urates in joint fluid crystallize, particularly in ankle due
to lower temperature; crystals develop in synovial lining
cells, stimulate formation of antibodies, which
accelerates formation of new crystals.
Release of crystals attracts neutrophils and complement,
(generates c3a, c5a, attracts more neutrophils),
Releases free radicals, releases lysosomal enzymes
GOUT
 This will eventually causes acute arthritis that last days
to weeks without treatment; repeated attacks of acute
arthritis cause
 Renal failure, urate stones
 Risk factors for gout with Hyperuricemia are:
 Age > 30 years,
 Male, familial history of gout,
 Alcohol use,
 Obesity,
 Thiazide administration(reduce the clearance of uric
acid)
Pathogenesis
Enzymatic deficiencies and increased
nucleic acid turnover account for only 10%
of gout patients.
Remaining 90% are “primary gout” due to
an unknown defect limiting the ability to
excrete uric acid.
Pathogenesis
Uric acid normally dissolves in plasma
Poorly soluble in synovial fluid and
precipitates out as MSU crystals
(monosodium urate crystals )
Pathogenesis
Hyperuricaemia

May be asymptomatic

Deposition of monosodium urate crystals in synovial tissue
(contain various Ig’s, complement, fibrinogen, fibronectin)

Complement activated

Neutrophils phagocytose & lyse crystals

Release chemical mediators (e.g. TNF-α; IL-1)

ACUTE GOUTY ARTHRITIS

May resolve & become asymptomatic
(INTERCRITICAL GOUT)
May have recurrent episodes

Large deposits of chalky white urate  tophi

Chronic granulomatous inflammatory condition

Fibrosis of synovium

Erosion of articular cartilage

CHRONIC TOPHACEOUS ARTHRITIS

ankylosis

Tophi may be deposited in soft tissue

Can ulcerate if sub-cutaneous
Pathogenesis of Renal Involvement
Hyperuricaemia

Freely filtered by glomerulus, but reabsorbed in proximal
convulated tubules

Precipitation in renal tubules

Tubule obstruction

Crystal formation in interstitium

Renal stones

Recurrent pyelonephritis

Crystal Studies
Sodium urate crystals viewed under polarized
light with a red plate makes those in the plane of
the long axis of the red plate yellow, which
indicates that they are negatively birefringent.

exercise
Sites
1st MTP (75%)
Ankle
Finger
Olecranon
Gout
Chronic gout
 Polyarticular gout
 Tophi may form around joints and often also in the
pinna of the ear and with time may ulcerate and
discharge
 May cause joint stiffness and deformity as a result of
joint erosion
 May cause renal damage due to deposition of urate
crystals in the renal parenchyma
 Urate urolithiasis occurs in 10%; rarely chronic urate
nephropathy with renal failure may develop

negative
Diagnosis
Based on history and physical examination
Confirmed by arthrocentesis
Urate crystals: needle-shaped negatively birefringent
either free floating or within neutrophils & macrophages.
Uric acid level non specific.
30% may show normal level
Urine collection:
Gout
GOUT
Gross: chalky white appearance of gouty deposits
Micro: early - edematous synovium with acute and
chronic inflammatory infiltrate
 Late - tophi (large aggregates of urate crystals,
granulomatous inflammation, hyperplastic fibrotic
synovium);
Gout crystals are long, slender, needle shaped, but
difficult to visualize with routine staining because they
are dissolved during formalin processing (crystals are
water soluble); easier to identify on scrape or with
alcohol fixation
GOUT
With chronic disease, urate deposits may
be present in soft tissue, ligaments, skin
Gouty deposits may be surrounded by
fibrous tissue and be rimmed by
histiocytes and giant cells
Gout from sodium urate crystalsGout from sodium urate crystals
deposited in joints.deposited in joints.
This is gout. Gouty arthritis results from
deposition of sodium urate crystals in
joints.
The joint most often affected is the first
MP joint (big toe) as seen here.
Acute attacks are characterized by severe
pain, swelling, and erythema of the joint.

Gout

  • 4. Purines Purines are natural substances found in all of the body's cells, and in virtually all foods. The reason for their widespread occurrence is simple: purines provide part of the chemical structure of our genes and the genes of plants and animals
  • 5. When cells die and get recycled, the purines in their genetic material also get broken down. Uric acid is the chemical formed when purines have been broken down completely.
  • 6. Hyperuricemia  The condition when there are high concentrations of uric acid in the blood.  Serum levels of uric acid are >7mg/dL (Normally, 2.4-6mg/dL in females; 3.4- 7mg/dL in males)  At such a high level, uric acid tends to aggregate and form crystals  Primary Hyperuricemia: an innate defect in purine metabolism and/or uric acid excretion  Secondary Hyperuricemia: high uric acid levels due to medications/medical conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis, psoriasis, chronic lead poisoning
  • 7. Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine.  If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn't remove enough if it, you can get sick. High levels of uric acid in the body is called Hyperuricemia.
  • 8. Purine nucleotides hypoxanthine xanthine Uric acid Xanthine oxidase Alimentary excretion Urinary excretion Tissue deposition in excess Urate crystal microtophi Phagocytosis with acute inflammation and arthritis uricosurics colchicine NSAID Allopurinol Oxypurinol
  • 10. Uric Acid Uric acid is the end product in purine metabolism Excretion of uric acid removes nitrogenous wastes from body 2/3 of uric acid made is excreted via kidneys; 1/3 via GI tract Urate: protonated form of uric acid
  • 11.  Uric acid can accumulate due to:  Overproduction of purine nucleotides  Enhanced cell turnover (purine degradation)  Decreased in purine salvage pathway  Underexcretion of uric acid  Predisposition to many diseases  People may live with elevated uric acid levels without experiencing any symptoms
  • 12. GOUT Gout and gouty arthritis Transient attacks of acute arthritis initiated by crystallization of urates and neutrophils, followed by chronic gouty arthritis with tophi in joints and urate nephropathy Sites: 50% have initial attack in first metatarsophalangeal joint; also ankles, heels, knees, wrists, fingers, elbows
  • 14. Gout Affects less than 0.5% of the population. It is a common condition, presenting in 1-4% of adult men. Due to familial disposition, incidence may be as high as 80% in families affected by disorder.
  • 15. Alcohol and Gout alcohol metabolism contributes to urate retention some red wines contain purines or oxypurines, which lead to an increased purine load alcohol may contribute to obesity which is associated with under excretion of uric acid Patients with a history of gout are advised to drink plenty of fluid, approximately 2 litres per day (nonalcoholic).
  • 16. GOUT Primary gout (90%): idiopathic with overproduction of uric acid Hyperuricemia in the absence of other disease Asymptomatic hyperuricemia can precede gout Impaired secretion by kidneys
  • 17. Secondary gout (10%): increased nucleic acid turnover due to chronic renal disease, HGPRT deficiency( hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase deficiency) Tumors Leukemias Lymphomas After chemotherapy Alcoholism Accelerated ATP catabolism

  • 19. GOUT Arthritis: synovial fluid is poorer solvent for sodium urate than plasma, so with hyperuricemia.  Urates in joint fluid crystallize, particularly in ankle due to lower temperature; crystals develop in synovial lining cells, stimulate formation of antibodies, which accelerates formation of new crystals. Release of crystals attracts neutrophils and complement, (generates c3a, c5a, attracts more neutrophils), Releases free radicals, releases lysosomal enzymes
  • 20. GOUT  This will eventually causes acute arthritis that last days to weeks without treatment; repeated attacks of acute arthritis cause  Renal failure, urate stones
  • 21.  Risk factors for gout with Hyperuricemia are:  Age > 30 years,  Male, familial history of gout,  Alcohol use,  Obesity,  Thiazide administration(reduce the clearance of uric acid)
  • 22. Pathogenesis Enzymatic deficiencies and increased nucleic acid turnover account for only 10% of gout patients. Remaining 90% are “primary gout” due to an unknown defect limiting the ability to excrete uric acid.
  • 23. Pathogenesis Uric acid normally dissolves in plasma Poorly soluble in synovial fluid and precipitates out as MSU crystals (monosodium urate crystals )
  • 24. Pathogenesis Hyperuricaemia  May be asymptomatic  Deposition of monosodium urate crystals in synovial tissue (contain various Ig’s, complement, fibrinogen, fibronectin)  Complement activated  Neutrophils phagocytose & lyse crystals  Release chemical mediators (e.g. TNF-α; IL-1)  ACUTE GOUTY ARTHRITIS  May resolve & become asymptomatic (INTERCRITICAL GOUT)
  • 25. May have recurrent episodes  Large deposits of chalky white urate  tophi  Chronic granulomatous inflammatory condition  Fibrosis of synovium  Erosion of articular cartilage  CHRONIC TOPHACEOUS ARTHRITIS  ankylosis  Tophi may be deposited in soft tissue  Can ulcerate if sub-cutaneous
  • 26. Pathogenesis of Renal Involvement Hyperuricaemia  Freely filtered by glomerulus, but reabsorbed in proximal convulated tubules  Precipitation in renal tubules  Tubule obstruction  Crystal formation in interstitium  Renal stones  Recurrent pyelonephritis
  • 29. Crystal Studies Sodium urate crystals viewed under polarized light with a red plate makes those in the plane of the long axis of the red plate yellow, which indicates that they are negatively birefringent.
  • 32. Clinical features Acute gouty arthritis Painful Involves one joint initially, then polyarticular Podagra (painful, red metatarsophalangeal joint) Tophaceous gout Development of tophi Chalky, cheesy, yellow-white, pasty deposits of monosodium urate crystals Helix and antihelix of ear Achilles tendon
  • 33. Stages of Gout Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia Acute Attack Intercritical Period Chronic Gout
  • 34. Acute gout Sudden onset Lasts 1-2w May be triggered by – trauma, operation, alcohol, exercise Sites 1st MTP (75%) Ankle Finger Olecranon
  • 36. Chronic gout  Polyarticular gout  Tophi may form around joints and often also in the pinna of the ear and with time may ulcerate and discharge  May cause joint stiffness and deformity as a result of joint erosion  May cause renal damage due to deposition of urate crystals in the renal parenchyma  Urate urolithiasis occurs in 10%; rarely chronic urate nephropathy with renal failure may develop
  • 41. Diagnosis More than one attack Maximum inflammation in one day Monoarthritis Redness First MTP involved Unilateral first MTP Unilateral tarsal attack Tophus Hyperuricemia Asymmetric swelling MSU crystals in joint fluid Joint fluid culture negative
  • 42. Diagnosis Based on history and physical examination Confirmed by arthrocentesis Urate crystals: needle-shaped negatively birefringent either free floating or within neutrophils & macrophages. Uric acid level non specific. 30% may show normal level Urine collection:
  • 44. GOUT Gross: chalky white appearance of gouty deposits Micro: early - edematous synovium with acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrate  Late - tophi (large aggregates of urate crystals, granulomatous inflammation, hyperplastic fibrotic synovium); Gout crystals are long, slender, needle shaped, but difficult to visualize with routine staining because they are dissolved during formalin processing (crystals are water soluble); easier to identify on scrape or with alcohol fixation
  • 45. GOUT With chronic disease, urate deposits may be present in soft tissue, ligaments, skin Gouty deposits may be surrounded by fibrous tissue and be rimmed by histiocytes and giant cells
  • 46. Gout from sodium urate crystalsGout from sodium urate crystals deposited in joints.deposited in joints.
  • 47. This is gout. Gouty arthritis results from deposition of sodium urate crystals in joints. The joint most often affected is the first MP joint (big toe) as seen here. Acute attacks are characterized by severe pain, swelling, and erythema of the joint.
