Abstract

The initial presentation of gouty arthritis can be a dramatic event. Chronic gout may lead to the destruction of joints, invalidity and increased mortality. The incidence of this disorder is high, despite effective therapeutic measures. The treatment of refractory cases may be a challenge to the general practitioner and the specialist alike. The article presented here summarizes the current state of diagnostics and treatment of acute and chronic gout.

Die Gichtarthritis kann in ihrer Erstmanifestation dramatisch verlaufen und in ihrer chronischen Form zu Gelenkdestruktion, Invalidität und erhöhter Sterblichkeit führen. Die Inzidenz der Erkrankung ist trotz guter Therapiemöglichkeiten hoch. Die Behandlung refraktärer Fälle stellt im haus- und fachärztlichen Bereich auch heute noch eine Herausforderung dar. Der Artikel bietet einen aktuellen Überblick über Diagnostik und Therapie der akuten Gicht wie auch ihrer chronischen Form.

Schlüsselwörter
