  • Title: Clinics in diagnostic imaging (2). Juvenile gouty arthropathy with associated nephropathy.
    Author: Lam PW, Peh WC.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 1995 Feb; 36(1):85-7. PubMed ID: 7570144.
    Abstract:
    A 36-year-old Chinese man presented with clinical and biochemical features of renal failure. He has had recurrent attacks of acute gouty arthritis since the age of 15 years. Present radiographic features of extensive chronic tophaceous gout included soft tissue masses, calcification, and typical erosions in the hand and feet. The condition of familial juvenile gouty nephropathy is discussed. Awareness of juvenile-onset gouty arthropathy should lead to early investigation, diagnosis and appropriate management. The complication of associated nephropathy may potentially be prevented.
