[Familial gout]
Abstract:
The authors observed 10 patients from 4 families with hereditarily determined gout and detected some specific features in its course. The familial disease was sex-unrelated, its first signs manifested themselves early acquiring a subsequent severe course; purine metabolic derangement was of a metabolic type, a urolithic form of nephropathy was seldom observed. A morphological picture was characterized by a glomerular lesion looking like focal segmental mesangiocapillary or mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with noticeable changes in the tubules, stroma and vessels causing early renal insufficiency. Pathogenetic therapy with uricodepressants made it possible to improve the course of nephropathy. The authors described a pedigree of 3 generations of a family in which gout developed in its 10 out of 17 members, in 6 with chronic renal insufficiency.

Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not related to...
Gastritis-I: Introduction and Types
Acute gastritis presents as a sudden inflammation triggered by various stressors to the stomach lining, such as exposure to corrosive agents, local irritants like aspirin and other NSAIDs, alcohol consumption, radiation therapy, physical trauma, severe burns, sepsis,...
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
