Uric acid pathway

Purine synthesis

300-600 mg/d

PURINE

600 mg/d+ H+

Uric acid

GI tract 200 mg/d

• Mostly degraded by colonic bacteria

Urine 600 mg/d

Uric acid

1200 mg/d

Uric acid (pool)

1200 mg/d

• Glomerular filtration

• Proximal reabsorption and

secretionUrate transporters:

URAT1 (gene SLC22A12)

GLUT9 (gene SCL2A9)

URAT1 = urate/organic anion exchanger 1GLUT9 = glucose transporter 9

Gout & Hyperuricemia

� Hyperuricemia: uric acid level > 6.8 – 7.0 mg/Dl

� Chronic hyperuricemia � precipitation of MSU crystals

� + Predisposing factors e.g., trauma, surgery

Release of MSU crystals to joint space � inflammation

• Gout: presence of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints, bones, and soft tissues

Hyperuricemia

Gout

∼ 10-30%

Asymptomatic hyperuricemia(progressive MSU deposition)

Acute gouty arthritis

Intercritical (interval) gout

Chronic recurrent gout

Tophaceous gout

ACR 2012 Recommendations

Acute Gouty Arthritis

� Severity….based on self-reported pain (0-10 VAS)

Mild < 4Moderate 5 – 6 Severe > 7

� Extent… based on number of active joints

One or few small joints1 or 2 large joints (ankle, elbow, wrist, hip, shoulder)

แผนภมูทิี@ 1 หนา้ 258

Assess severity

Initial Therapy of Acute Gout Attack

* For acute gout if started w/in 36 hours of symptom onset

MonotherapyMild-moderate

NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitor

Systemic corticosteroids

Colchicine*

Combination therapySevere

• NSAID + Colchicine• PO steroid + Colchicine• IA steroid + …..


NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors

� All oral NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors are effective

� Low dose aspirin (75 – 150 mg/d) does not significantly

affect urate concentrations and should be continued if

required for cardiovascular prophylaxis

� No consensus on the topical NSAIDs and IM ketorolac

for the treatment of acute gout

ACR 2012 recommendation


ตารางที@ 5: ขนาดยา NSAIDs ตารางที@ 5 หนา้ 259

Colchicine

� Acute gout attack (within 36 hours of symptom onset)

� LD: 1.2 mg, then 0.6 mg 1 hour later

� MD (prophylaxis): 0.6 mg once or twice daily

– start 12 hours later, until gout attack resolved

� Avoid in patients with severe renal or hepatic impairment � bone marrow suppression or neuromyopathy

Colchicine dosing reduction: • CKD• CYP 3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitors




Corticosteroids

� Extent of joint involvement

� Oral prednisolone 0.5 mg/kg/day

� for 5 – 10 days and then stop OR

� for 2 – 3 days of full dose � taper for 7 – 10 days then stop

� 1-2 large joint(s): Intra-articular corticosteroids

� + oral corticosteroids/ NSAID/ colchicine

� Dose varies by the size of involved joint(s)



Which one of the following is the best initial treatment regimen for the patient’s attack ?

A. Prednisolone 10 mg PO daily

B. Triamcinolone 20 mg IA into affected joint

C. Colchicine 1.2 mg PO, followed by 0.6 mg

in 1 hour

D. Naproxen 500 mg PO BID

Inadequate response

Inadequate Response of an Initial Therapy

•< 20% improvement in pain score w/in 24 hours•< 50% improvement in pain score > 24 hours after initiating pharmacotherapy

Switch to another monotherapy

Combination therapy

Refractory to other agents+ IL-1 inhibitors (Ankinra 100 mg SC daily x 3 days)



Should Uric Lowering Therapy be Initiated?

� ACR 2012, recommend uric acid lowing therapy (ULT) for

gouty arthritis patients with one of the following:

� Tophus or tophi by clinical exam or imaging study

� Frequent acute gouty arthritis attacks (> 2 attacks/yr)

� CKD stage 2 or worse

� Past urolithiasis (uric acid stone)

Target of serum uric acid after treatment < 6 mg/dL < 5 mg/dL may be needed to improve S/Sx

Which one of the following is the

most appropriate intervention for

this patient ?

Long-Term Management of Gout

� Initiate ULT 1 – 2 weeks after the inflammation of the acute attack has resolved

� ULT may precipitate gout attack

� Use prophylaxis against acute attacks when initiating ULT:

� Colchicine 0.6 – 1.2 mg/d for up to 6 months OR

� NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors (for not more than 6 weeks)

� Consider losartan and fenofibrate for HTN and hyperlipidemia respectively, for their modest uricouric effects

Uric Lowering Therapy

Xanthine oxidase inhibitors • Allopurinol• Febuxostat (not available)

Uricosuric• Probenecid• Benzbromarone• Sulfinpyrazone

Recombinant urate-oxidase enzyme• Pegloticase (not available)

Allopurinol Allopurinol

� Xanthine oxidase inhibitor

� 1st line therapy for hyperuricemia

� Dose:

� starting dose < 100 mg/day for any patient

� 50 mg/day for CKD > 4

� gradually titrate every 2-5 weeks

� dose can be raised above 300 mg/day, even in

those with renal impairment

� Serious ADR: Allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome


Allopurinol Hypersensitivity Syndrome

� Fever with rash is the most common clinical findings

� Severe cutaneous reaction may be found

� Mortality rate ∼ 20 – 25%

� HLA-B*5801 polymorphism� Han Chinese, Thai, Korean

� Possible use to confirm the diagnosis

HLB*5801 – Apply to Clinical Practice

FebuxostatFebuxostat

� Dose: 40 – 80 mg/day� Gout flare prophylaxis is recommended when

initialing therapy� Can use in patient with HLA-B*5801 polymorphism� Thromboembolic events (MI, stroke) have been

reported !! � DI: azathioprine, mercaptopurine (↑ level)

Probenecid

� Initial dose:

� 250 mg BID x 1 week � 500 mg BID

� Absent of gout attack for > 6 months � may gradually decrease dose to maintain normal uric acid level (< 6 mg/dL)

� ? Subtherapeutic dose -- may inhibit renal urate secretion

Benzbromarone

� Inhibit proximal renal tubular urate reabsorption �↑ urinary urate excretion

� ↓ uric acid levels by 33–59% (dose-dependent)

� Usual dose: 50–200 mg PO daily

� Serious ADR: liver failure (require liver transplantation)

Sulfinpyrazone

� Dose � Initial: 100–200 mg BID for 1–3 wks � 200–400 mg BID � Absent of gout attack for > 6 months � may gradually

decrease dose to maintain normal uric acid level (< 6 mg/dL)

� CrCl < 10 mL/min � loss of uricouric effect

� Platelet aggregation inhibitor (unclear MOA)

� CI: phenylbutazone allergy

peptic ulcer disease (may aggravate)

serious blood disorders

Uricosuric agents – Class Effects (probenecid, benzbromarone, sulfinpyrazone)

� Urolithiasis (urate stone) ∼ 10%

Prevention:

� Adequate fluid intake (10 – 12 glasses /day)

� Maintain high urine pH

↑↑↑↑ urine pH … a diet high in citrus fruits, vegetables, or dairy products

↓↓↓↓ urine pH … a diet high in meat products or cranberries

� + Aspirin …. ↓ uricosuric effect

…. ↑ risk of bleeding (↓ aspirin excretion)

Pegloticase, IV � Pegylated recombinant form of urate-oxidase

enzyme (uricase)urate-oxidase

uric acid allantoin (water soluble metabolite)

� Approved for refractory gout � NOT for asymptomatic hyperuricemia � Prophylaxis gout flare (NSAID or colchicine) 1 week before

pegloticase and may continue for up to 6 months

� CI: G6PD deficiency � ? Risk of anaphylaxis and infusion-related reactions

� Premedicated with antihistamine + corticosteroid� Slow infusion in > 2 hours


Which one of the following is the most appropriate intervention for this patient ?

A. Continue colchicine

B. Start allopurinol and NSAIDs

C. Start allopurinol and continue colchicine

D. Discontinue colchicine and start allopurinol

E. Start allopurinol and prednisolone

Start allopurinol 1-2 weeks later (after acute arthritis resolve)

Causes of hyperuricemia

Gout: Summary

� Acute onset of severe joint pain. � Swelling, effusion, warmth, erythema, and/or

tenderness of the involved joint(s).� Arthrocentesis with synovial fluid analysis shows

strongly MSU crystal.� NSAIDs, colchicine, or corticosteroids are used to treat

acute disease. � Allopurinol, uricosuric agents are used as uric acid-

lowering drugs when long-term prevention of crystal deposition is indicated.

� Complications include joint destruction, kidney disease, and urolithiasis.
