Gout

The Lancet, 2016
Gout is a chronic disease of deposition of monosodium urate crystals, which form in the presence of increased urate concentrations. Although environmental factors contribute to hyperuricaemia, renal and gut excretion of urate is central to regulation of serum urate, and genetic factors are important.

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2002
Gout continues to be a health problem around the world despite the availability of effective therapies. Although the prevalence is influenced by genetic factors, the associations of alcohol consumption, obesity, and hypertension appear to be partially responsible for the increased prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia in African and Oriental countries ...
