Gout
Gout has the unique distinction of being one of the most frequently recorded medical illnesses throughout history.
 |
Gout is a condition that results from crystals of uric acid depositing in tissues of the body.
The joint inflammation is caused by deposits of uric acid crystals in the joint fluid and joint lining. Gouty arthritis is usually an extremely painful attack with a rapid onset of joint inflammation.

CAUSES:
Intense joint inflammation occurs as white blood cells engulf the uric acid crystals and release chemicals of inflammation, causing pain, heat, and redness of the joint tissues.

The small joint at the base of the big toe is the most common site of an acute gout attack. Other joints that can be affected include the ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, and elbows.
Symptoms and signs of gout are:
Acute gout attacks are characterized by a rapid onset of pain in the affected joint followed by warmth, swelling, reddish discoloration, and marked tenderness. Tenderness can be intense so that even a blanket touching the skin over the affected joint can be unbearable.
Gout is nine times more common in men than in women. It predominantly attacks males after puberty, with a peak age of 75. In women, gout attacks usually occur after menopause.
