Treatment for lupus
avoid sun exposure, treat infections quickly, high risk pregnancies, increased risk kof malignancy, NSAIDS, steroids, methotrexate, cyclosporine
What is Gout
monosodium urate cyrstal deposit in tissues. Kidneys don't filter out uric acid and then deposit in joints (most seen in older men) if in younger men then genetic makes too much uric acid, usually occurs first in big toe, uniarthuclar, very painful

What is primary prevention for osteoarthritis?
weight control and injury prevention
What is secondary prevention for osteoarthritis?
early diagnosis and skilled management
Who usually gets lupus?
women, ages 20-45, more blacks, asians
What see a lot in lupus?
skin disorders, and lots of ititis (pleuritis, pericarditis, uvetitis), c/o fatigue - very hard to diagnosis
What tests to order for lupus?
ESR (long-term inlflamation), CRP (short term inflammation), (measures inflamation), ANA, CBC (anemia)
What see with osteoarthritis
disease of age, worse with activity, improves iwth rest, asymmetrical, not present at night, morning stiffness, know about nodules Bouchard nodules (middle joints of fingers, & Herbedon nodules (distal joints of fingers) NSAIDS, normal labs, swimming best exercise
What is RA
autoimmune disease - will see abnormal labs, see anemia of chronic disease, first line drugs DMARDS refer
How to diagnose gout
joint aspiration gold standard, draw uric acid needs to be below 6, need to reduce inflammation first (indocin or prednisone) then treat uric acid level second otherwise gout ith flare allopurinal for decreasing gout - disease of diet reduce diet high in purines - meat, liver
