The below mentioned article provides a short note on Gout. Sodium urate crystals are precipitated out of soluÂtion and deposited in soft tissues, particularly in or about joints. These urate deposits are referred to as tophi. Acute inflammatory reactions called acute gouty arthritis is caused by the accumulation of sodium urate crystals in the tissues. The deposition of sodium urate [...]
