ABSTRACT

La gota es la artritis crónica más común en el anciano. Puede ser fácilmente diagnosticada por la presencia de cristales de urato monosódico al examen microscópico del líquido articular. Existen algunas diferencias clínicas entre la gota del adulto y la del anciano. El tratamiento es altamente efectivo pero puede ocasionar serias reacciones adversas si no se tiene en cuenta la comorbilidad de este grupo.


Gout is the most common chronic arthritis in older people that can lead to significant and severe disability. It can be easy diagnosed with the presence of crystals of urate monosodic in the articular fluid. The clinical stages of gout include asymptomatic hyperuricemia, intermittent gouty arthritis, intercritical period and chronic tophaceous gout. There are some differences necessary to recognize to avoid errors in the management. Treatment of acute gout involves the use of NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids or corticotropin (adrenocorticotropic hormone). Profilactic treatment includes the use of allopurinol and uricosuric agents; but all of these drugs could cause serious reactions in the elderly.
