Urine Studies I: Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a widely used diagnostic test that analyzes urine's physical, chemical, and microscopic characteristics. Healthcare providers use it to detect and monitor various health conditions, including renal disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, and metabolic or systemic disorders.Components of UrinalysisUrinalysis consists of three primary components: physical, chemical, and microscopic examination. Each provides unique insights into the urine sample and, by extension, the...
Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment01:28

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Urinary Tract Calculi II: Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations

Renal calculi, commonly termed kidney stones, are crystalline solid masses that form in the kidneys but can occur at any point within the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.The pathophysiology of renal stones involves several key factors: supersaturation of the urine with stone-forming constituents, changes in urine pH, a decrease in urine volume, and the presence of substances that promote or inhibit stone formation.Supersaturation of Urine: This is the...
Glaucoma: Overview01:25

Glaucoma: Overview

Glaucoma is an eye condition characterized by increased intraocular pressure that damages the retina and optic nerve, leading to irreversible blindness if left untreated. The human eye has various components, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, and optic nerve. Aqueous humor is secreted by the epithelium of the ciliary body in the posterior chamber and flows through the trabecular meshwork and canal of Schlemm, maintaining normal intraocular pressure. The trabecular meshwork and the canal...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis characterized by hyperuricemia and urate crystal deposition.
  • Ocular manifestations of gout are rare, with most cases involving the anterior uvea or sclera.

Observation:

  • An 80-year-old female patient with a history of gout and hypertension presented for cataract surgery.
  • Incidental discovery of subconjunctival crystal deposits near the superior limbus of the left eye during preoperative examination.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of conjunctival crystals was performed prior to cataract surgery.
  • Polarized light microscopy confirmed the presence of crystals.
  • Histopathological examination definitively identified the deposits as gouty tophi.

Implications:

  • Subconjunctival urate crystal deposition is an uncommon presentation of gout.
  • Ophthalmologists should consider gout in the differential diagnosis of unusual conjunctival findings, especially in patients with a known history of the condition.
