Tophi are made of...
granulomas w/ giant cells and negatively birefringent urate crystals
Gout is most commonly due to underexcretion or overproduction? Etiologies?
underexcretion
Etiologies: protein rich diet, Lesch-Nyhan, PRPP excess (because more purines are made), thiazides, von Gierke's, tumor lysis
