Detailed explanation-1: -Gout happens when high levels of serum urate build up in your body, which can then form needle-shaped crystals in and around the joint. This leads to inflammation and arthritis of the joint. When the body makes too much urate, or removes too little, urate levels build up in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -High levels of blood uric acid have long been associated with gout. Gouty arthritis (gout) is a medical condition characterized by red, tender, hot, and swollen joints caused by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gout is a crystal-induced arthritis caused by deposition of the monosodium uric acid crystal (MSU) related to long standing hyperuricemia. It is also a common inflammatory arthritis affecting around 5% of the middle-aged and elderly population worldwide (5).
