   Gout
   A disturbance of uric-acid metabolism occurring predominantly in males, characterized by painful inflammation of the joints, especially of the feet and hands, and arthritic attacks resulting from elevated levels of uric acid in the blood and the deposition of urate crystals around the joints.

   Gout
   Usually means a very painful arthritis. It is due to the formation of crystals of sodium biurate. The crystals result from an excess of urate or uric acid (a waste product of protein metabolism) in the blood. The excess uric acid may result from a failure of excretion (90%) or excessive production (10% - especially blood cancers but also as a side ...

   Gout
   an arthritic disease marked by recurrent acute attacks of pain, tenderness, redness, and swelling around the joints and tendons caused by deposits of monosodium urate crystals. Most gout cases are characterised by hyperuricaemia, i.e. high levels of uric acid in the body, that cause crystals to be deposited in the joint area. Uric acid is a normal breakdown product of purine metabolism. Abnormally elevated blood levels of uric acid, which are associated with gouty arthritis, arise through either excessive production of uric acid or decreased excretion of uric acid by the kidneys. The condition was not helped by high consumption of meat and port wine! The arthritis, a periodical disease with great pain.

    gout
    Recurrent acute arthritis of peripheral joints caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crytals. Usually due to overproduction of uric acid but may be a result of under-excretion. The problems partly arise because neutrophils release lysosomal enzymes as a result of damage to the phagosome membrane by ingested crystals: colchicine acts to reduce the attack by inhibiting lysosome-phagosome fusion.

    Gout
    `Gout` (also called `metabolic arthritis`) is a disease created by a buildup of uric acid. In this condition, monosodium urate or uric acid crystals are deposited on the articular cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated concentrations of uric acid in the blood stream. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues.
