Rising Incidence and Prevalence of Gout in the Canadian General Population
Background/Purpose: Gout is increasingly becoming recognized as the most common form of inflammatory arthritis worldwide; however, no Canadian general population-based data on the disease burden…Abstract Number: 213 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Method for Counting Monosodium Urate Crystals in the Synovial Fluid of Gout Patients
Background/Purpose: Gout is the most common form of arthritis, and its prevalence is increasing. The identification of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in synovial fluid (SF)…Abstract Number: 216 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effects of Monosodium Urate Crystals on Mlo-Y4 Cell Viability; Is There a Role for Osteocytes in Erosive Gout?
Background/Purpose: Imaging and histology studies have identified monosodium urate (MSU) crystals present in subchondral bone in erosive gout, suggesting that these crystals could interact with…Abstract Number: 217 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Circulating Levels of Neo-Epitopes Reflecting Connective Tissue Turnover As Biomarkers of Gout and Frequent Gout Attacks in Men
Background/Purpose: Recurrent flares constitute the main clinical burden of gout. The neo-epitope blood-based biomarkers, C1M and C3M, measuring matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-mediated connective tissue degradation, have previously…
