Coloured X-ray of hand in gouty arthritis
Gouty hand. Coloured X-ray image of the hands of a patient suffering from gout. The joints between individual bones are clearly swollen and arthritis has caused bone erosion in several finger joints. Gout is caused by a defect in uric acid metabolism. This causes an excess of uric acid & its salts (sodium urate) to accumulate in the bloodstream and the joints. These collect in the joint capsules causing an acute inflammation, with accompanying swelling, redness & pain. Gout has traditionally been associated with overeating & overdrinking. Treatment involves the use of anti- inflammatory drugs & abstention from rich foods & excessive alcohol

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray image of a hand afflicted with gouty arthritis. The visual reveals the detrimental effects of this condition on the joints, as they appear visibly swollen and bone erosion is evident in multiple finger joints. Gout, caused by an anomaly in uric acid metabolism, leads to an accumulation of excess uric acid and its salts (sodium urate) within both the bloodstream and joints. The consequences are strikingly depicted through this image: joint capsules become filled with these deposits, triggering acute inflammation accompanied by swelling, redness, and excruciating pain. Historically associated with indulgence in food and alcohol, gout has been linked to overeating and overdrinking habits. However, effective treatment for this disorder involves the use of anti-inflammatory drugs alongside dietary adjustments that include abstaining from rich foods and excessive alcohol consumption. By highlighting the impaired state of a gouty hand through this photograph's vivid portrayal, Science Photo Library offers valuable insight into the medical aspects surrounding gout while emphasizing its impact on individuals' health care.
