Thalassemia, Uric Acid, and Gout image details

I combine 3 gout-related slides from a slideshow from Institute of Paramedical Sciences (IPMS) at Khyber Medical Univerity (KMU). Because these 3 slides mention a relationship between thalassemia (a group of blood diseases) and gout or uric acid. However, if you search for the original slideshow, you should note that it was posted as “Thalassemia By IPMS-KUM Peshawar” not IPMS-KMU. So if you plan to research the sources of this information, look at the IPMS-KMU website and associated links.

Specifically, the slides show:

33: Pathophysiology of Thalassemia and Gout

Marrow expansion from thalassemia causes skeltal deformity, increased metabolic rate, wasting, gout, and folate deficiency.

34: Clinical Features of Gout and Thalassemia

Chronic Hemolysis often produces gallstones, gout, and icterus (jaundice).

42: Biochemistry of Thalassemia and Uric Acid

Several increased biomarkers in blood, urine, and cells. Including ferritin and uric acid.
