Early-Onset Polyarticular Gout: A Case Report
Gout is a form of arthritis involving the inflammatory response to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals. This is a case of a 39-year-old male who presents with significant polyarticular gout with a serum urate level of 10.2 mg/dL. He was considered to have early-onset polyarticular gout. Risk factors include comorbid hypertension and chronic kidney disease. Challenges arise when considering treatment options given these comorbidities while aiming to manage the patient's symptoms effectively.
