Abstract

Since the original recognition of these conditions in 1961, a great deal has been learned about the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and appropriate treatment of gout and pseudogout, and the role of crystals in osteoarthritis has been further defined. The variable manifestations of crystal-induced arthritis in elderly populations has led to a greater need for proper diagnosis and treatment strategies for these increasingly common forms of arthritis.

摘要

自1961年首次认识到这些病症以来，人们对痛风和假性痛风的发病机制、临床表现及适当治疗方法有了很多了解，并且晶体在骨关节炎中的作用也得到了进一步明确。晶体诱导性关节炎在老年人群中的多样表现使得对这些日益常见的关节炎形式采取适当的诊断和治疗策略的需求更为迫切。
