- Gout is a condition characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints or soft tissue. The four phases of gout include asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout and chronic tophaceous gout.linical gout comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints and tendons. Gout progresses through four clinical phases: asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout (intervals between acute attacks) and chronic tophaceous gout.

- Gout is a metabolic disease in which uric acid crystals accumulate in one or more joints, leading to inflammation, swelling (edema), severe pain, and arthritis. Gout tends to involve joints of the lower extremities; the great toe is affected in about 50% of patients (Miller). The foot instep, ankle, heel, wrist, elbow, fingers, and joint at the base of the thumb (carpometacarpal joint) also may be affected.

Gout Uric acid is a substance resulting from the breakdown (metabolism) of purines, which are proteins found in human tissues and in many foods. Gout is caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, due to either increased production of uric acid or decreased excretion of uric acid by the kidney. The excess uric acid is deposited as needle-like crystals in the cartilage and tissue surrounding joints, in the skin, and in the kidneys.

- Gout is a painful condition that occurs when the bodily waste product uric acid is deposited as needle-like crystals in the joints and/or soft tissues. In the joints, these uric acid crystals cause inflammatory arthritis, which in turn leads to intermittent swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints. In this stage, a person has elevated levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia), but no other symptoms. 2  Treatment is usually not required. 3  Acute gout or acute gouty arthritis. 4  In this stage, hyperuricemia has caused the deposit of uric acid crystals in joint spaces.

Gout Basics of gout. Gout is a disease that causes sudden severe episodes of pain and tenderness, redness, warmth and swelling (inflammation) in some joints. Gout is a dramatic example of a type of arthritis called crystal arthritis, sometimes called microcrystalline arthritis because the crystals are very small.The crystals form in the joint space. As the body tries to remove the crystals, a painful inflammation occurs.ric acid usually is dissolved in the blood and passes through the kidneys into the urine. In people with gout, the uric acid level in the blood is so high that uric acid crystals are deposited in joints and other tissues.

Gout Gouty arthritis is reportedly the most common cause of inflammatory arthritis in men over the age of 40. It is definitively diagnosed by detecting uric acid (monosodium urate) crystals in an aspirated sample of the joint fluid. These uric acid crystals can accumulate in the joint and tissues around the joint over years, intermittently triggering repeated bouts of acute inflammation.

- Top of Page. Gout is a rheumatic disease resulting from deposition of uric acid crystals (monosodium urate) in tissues and fluids within the body. This process is caused by an overproduction or under excretion of uric acid. Certain common medications, alcohol, and dietary foods are known to be contributory factors. The deposition of crystals, however, is causing damage. 2  Acute flares occur when urate crystals in the joint(s) cause acute inflammation. 3  A flare is characterized by pain, redness, swelling, and warmth lasting days to weeks.

- What Is Gout? Gout is a painful type of arthritis commonly felt in a big toe. Gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood known as hyperuricemia (HI-per-yu-Ru-SEEM-ee-uh). A gout attack happens when uric acid forms crystals in the joints, causing inflammation and pain. As your uric acid level rises, so does the chance for gout and gout attacks.
