Summary Ammonium acid urate (AAU) crystals are rare in industrialized countries. Furthermore, the number of children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) who develop severe acute kidney injury (AKI) after hospitalization is small. We encountered two patients with AKI caused by AAU crystals during the recovery phase of DKA upon admission. They were diagnosed with severe DKA and hyperuricemia. Their urine volume decreased and AKI developed several days after hospitalization; however, acidosis improved in both patients. Urine sediment analysis revealed AAU crystals. They were treated with urine alkalization and diuretics. Excretion of ammonia in the urine and urine pH levels increased after treatment of DKA, which resulted in the formation of AAU crystals. In patients with severe DKA, the urine and urine sediment should be carefully examined as AAU can form in the recovery phase of DKA. Learning points Ammonium acid urate crystals could be formed in the recovery phase of diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis patients may develop acute kidney injury caused by ammonium acid urate crystals. Urine and urine sediment should be carefully checked in patients with severe DKA who present with hyperuricemia and volume depletion.

Acute gouty arthritis represents an inflammatory response to microcrystals of monosodium urate that precipitate in joint tissues from supersaturated body fluids or are shed from preexisting articular deposits [1]. Gout is a metabolic disease characterized by recurrent episodes of arthritis associated with the presence of monosodium urate crystals in the tissue or synovial fluid during the attack.These forms of crystal-induced arthritis usually affect peripheral joints, including knee, ankle, wrist, and metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints. All of them may be associated with other inflammatory, endocrine diseases [2]. The present study was done to highlight the relationship between increased levels of uric acid and specific laboratory tests in order to possible forecast development of further disease in patients with gouty arthrithis.The present study was done on 34 patients hospitalized in Felix Hospital of Rehabilitation in 2015-2016, with age between 44 and 74, having the main diagnosis of gouty arthritis.We studied the following laboratory tests:urea and other related analysis, like uric acid, creatinine, cholesterol, glutamate pyruvate transaminase and glutamate oxalate transaminase.

Gout is a metabolic disease involving the impregnation of joints and other tissues with urate crystals. The onset is often brutal, and it manifests itself with pain and inflammation in the affected joint. The treatment usually involves rest, ice, NSAIDs and anti-gout medication. The long-term treatment involves medication and dietary changes. In the joint, urate crystals are deposited in the synovial, in the cartilage and in the menisci. In the arthroscopic practice, the gouty knee is a rare occurrence. We present a relevant case, that of a 57 years old patient without a prior gout diagnosis where we found urate crystal deposits covering the synovium, cartilage and meniscus, and we discuss the current and recent year Pub Med indexed literature in order to evaluate the possibilities for arthroscopic treatment of this pathology. We looked at the number of patients involved, their characteristics, and the surgical techniques used. We also looked at the temporal relation of the arthroscopic intervention to the recent gout attacks, and at the described lesions that were found. Also, we evaluated the papers for joint liquid analysis, gout drug treatment, and description of clinical aspects involved and associated lesions. Finally, we looked at the follow-up, at the functional scores used to monitor the patient�s evolution, at the associated medication and at the long-term outcomes, if described. We have found opinions to vary. In the end, we draw conclusions pertaining to the practical short-term and long-term use of knee arthroscopy in the treatment of gout.

Vatarakta is more distressing and common metabolic disorder prevalent in present era. It is Vatapradhana Tridoshaja Vatavyadhi where Rakta is main Dushya. Vata is a predominant Dosha in Vatarakta, when it is excessively aggravated with vitiated Rakta is called Vatarakta. Vatarakta is correlated with gout in modern science. Gout is an abnormality of purine metabolism causes hyperuricemia and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints. Pain is predominant symptom of gout, which disturbs day-today life of the patients. The Panchakarma is not only a important component of Ayurvedic treatment but it is also forms the fundamental basis of Ayurveda therapy. The different procedures like Swedana, Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Sirovirechana, Raktamokshana focus on the purification which detoxifies the human body, i.e. the correction of the metabolism at molecular level. These detoxification procedures are essential components of the management in various metabolic disorders. So Panchakarma is an unique approach in the management of Vatarakta.
