Gout: 'a disease of plenty'.
Aust Fam Physician. 1995 May; 24(5):849-51, 855-6, 859-60.AF

Abstract

Gout is a syndrome caused by an inflammatory response to the formation of monosodium urate monohydrate crystals which develop secondary to hyperuricaemia. Acute and chronic forms occur. Hyperuricaemia may be due to environmental and/or genetic factors. It most commonly affects middle-aged males. This article discusses the management of both acute and chronic gout.
