Abstract

The typical gout patient is easily recognized: There is a sudden onset of severe pain and redness in the toe of a middle-aged and obese man, who is fond of eating and alcohol. It has been known since the time of Hippocrates that gout is very rare in young men and premenopausal women. Development of gout in a male patient under 30 years of age may indicate an enzyme defect that results in overproduction of purines or a hereditary renal tubular disease. Early recognition of these cases is important for preventing complications like nephrolithiasis and renal failure. In this report we presented a young male patient with gout, who had his first attack at the age of 15, and discussed early onset chronic tophaceous gout in the light of the literature.

Özet

Tipik gut vakası, orta yaşlı, kilolu, yemeğe ve alkole düşkün erkek hastada ayak başparmağında aniden gelişen, aşırı ağrılı şişlik ve kızarıklıkla başlamasıyla tanınması kolay bir hastalıktır. Genç erkeklerde ve premenopozal bayanlarda oldukça nadir görülmesi Hippocrates döneminden beri bilinmektedir. 30 yaş altındaki bir erkekte gut hastalığının başlaması aşırı pürin üretimine neden olan bir enzim defektini veya kalıtsal bir renal tübüler hastalığı işaret edebilir. Bu vakaların erken tanı ve tedavisi böbrek taşı ve renal yetmezlik gibi komplikasyonların önlenmesi açısından önemlidir. Burada ilk gut atağını 15 yaşında geçiren bir erkek hasta sunulmakta ve erken başlangıçlı kronik tofüsl ü gut literatür ışığında tartışılmaktadır.
