Gout is a disease usually caused by having too much uric acid in your body. Too much uric acid may not cause symptoms for years, but after a time it usually causes painful joint inflammation (arthritis). The most common site of inflammation is the joint between the foot and the big toe. Later attacks often affect other joints of the foot and leg. Less often, the arms and hands are affected. In addition to the arthritis, gout causes the formation of tophi. Tophi are lumpy deposits of uric acid crystals just under the skin. Common places for tophi to develop are in the outer edge of the ear, on or near the elbow, over the fingers and toes, and around the Achilles tendon in the ankle.

Gout Gout is one of the most common types of arthritis - one of 150 or more different types. As with many other forms, there is inflammation of the joint, with swelling, warmth, redness and pain. Nowadays, due to advances in medical research, gout can be well controlled. If the correct treatment program is followed, gout need not be a major problem. What is Gout? It is a disease in which there is a build-up of uric acid in the body. A relatively small amount comes directly from the food we eat. It is normally dissolved in the bloodstream and passed out through the kidneys. If the body cannot get rid of enough, the build-up of uric acid will be deposited in joints. The first attack of gout usually involves the big toe or "bunion" joint. The ankle, foot and knee may also be affected. It can occur over the point of the elbow, occasionally in the hand and rarely in other joints. Attacks can occur very quickly, often overnight, unlike most other forms of arthritis, which usually start more gradually. The affected joint rapidly becomes very painful, often to the point that even the weight of a sheet is unbearable. Untreated, each attack lasts approximately a week. After the first attack, which almost always involves only one joint, it is usually months or years before the next one occurs. But without the right management, attacks become more frequent, last longer and may involve other joints.

Who Is Likely To Develop Gout? How Is Gout Diagnosed? ... Where Can People Find More Information About Gout? What Is Gout? Gout is one of the most painful rheumatic diseases. It results from deposits of needle-like crystals of uric acid in connective tissue, in the joint space between two bones, or in both. These deposits lead to inflammatory arthritis, which causes swelling, redness, heat, pain, and stiffness in the joints. The term arthritis refers to more than 100 different rheumatic diseases that affect the joints, muscles, and bones, as well as other tissues and structures. Gout accounts for approximately 5 percent of all cases of arthritis. Pseudogout is sometimes confused with gout because it produces similar symptoms of inflammation. However, in this condition, also called chondrocalcinosis, deposits are made up of calcium phosphate crystals, not uric acid. Therefore, pseudogout is treated somewhat differently and is not reviewed in this booklet.
