Imaging comparative analysis of familial and sporadic gout in Chinese men by multijoint ultrasonography
Male patients with familial primary GA in the acute phase experienced earlier onset, shorter disease duration compared to those with sporadic gout. They also had more affected joints, more frequent and a wider distribution of tophi, especially in the right first metatarsophalangeal joint. Family history, age, disease duration, and SUA levels are predictive of tophi formation.
