Abstract

The increase in serum urate concentrations (hyperuricemia, ≥7.0mg/dL) creates crystals, which promote inflammation and joint lesions. Ultrasonography can reveal these urate deposits. The presence of crystals suggests that a patient with hyperuricemia is actually experiencing asymptomatic gout, and that a patient with gout without subcutaneous tophi could experience tophaceous gout. The information offered by ultrasound (double contour sign and hyperechoic concretions mimicking clouds) enables a more specific classification of hyperuricemia and gout. Additionally, this information can lead to relevant changes in terms of the diagnosis and therapeutic approach for patients with hyperuricemia and gout.

Keywords:

Resumen

El aumento de la concentración sérica de uratos (hiperuricemia, mayor o igual a 7,0mg/dL) ocasiona cristales que promueven inflamación y lesión articular. La ecografía puede poner de manifiesto estos depósitos de urato. Su presencia obliga a considerar que un paciente con hiperuricemia en realidad padece gota asintomática, y que un enfermo con gota sin tofos subcutáneos puede tener gota tofácea. La información que ofrece la ecografía (signo del «doble contorno» y de concreciones hiperecogénicas simulando nubes) posibilita una clasificación de la hiperuricemia y de la gota más precisas. Además, esta información puede dar lugar a modificaciones relevantes en cuanto al proceder diagnóstico y terapéutico en los enfermos con hiperuricemia y gota.
