Chinese medical students’ perceptions of gout: a pilot study [PDF]
BMC Medical EducationBackground Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide, but doctors have a relatively poor understanding of gout that affects optimal management. There is only limited knowledge about medical students’ understanding of gout.

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2021 Gout is a common and treatable disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in articular and non-articular structures. Increased concentration of serum urate (hyperuricaemia) is the most important risk factor for the development of gout.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023 To the Editor: The Clinical Practice review on gout by Mikuls (Nov. 17 issue)1 underscores the importance of hyperuricemia as a necessary risk factor and mentions the high heritability of serum urate levels.2 Serum urate levels are mostly controlled by the kidney, as confirmed by genetic studies implicating both rare and common variants in transporters

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2019 Gout is a chronic disease caused by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition. Gout typically presents as an acute, self-limiting inflammatory monoarthritis that affects the joints of the lower limb. Elevated serum urate level (hyperuricaemia) is the major risk factor for MSU crystal deposition and development of gout. Although traditionally considered

Gout. Epidemiology of gout [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2010 Gout is the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthropathy. Several studies suggest that its prevalence and incidence have risen in recent decades. Numerous risk factors for the development of gout have been established, including hyperuricaemia, genetic factors, dietary factors, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, obesity, diuretic

Gut Microbiota in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Correlation With Diet and Clinical Manifestations
Frontiers in Medicine, 2022 Despite the existing studies relating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) to changes in gut microbiota, the latter is affected by external factors such as diet and living environment.
