Acute gout A disorder of purine metabolism, occurring especially in men, characterized by a raised but variable blood uric acid level and severe recurrent acute arthritis of sudden onset resulting from deposition of crystals of sodium urate in connective tissues and articular cartilage; most cases are inherited, resulting from a variety of abnormalities of purine metabolism. The familial aggregation is for the most part galtonian with a threshold of expression determined by the solubility of uric acid. However, gout is a feature of the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome an X-linked disorder [MIM*308000]. Medications (drug generics) used in Acute gout Primary Drugs Diclofenac (Na) Etoricoxib Indomethacin Naproxen Phenylbutazone Piroxicam Piroxicam-beta-cyclodextrin Sulindac Secondary Drugs Contra Drugs
