Gout is a metabolic-inflammatory joint disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in the joints. Its pathological basis is hyperuricemia (HUA, defined as fasting serum uric acid >420 µmol/L on two separate occasions) resulting from purine metabolism disorders and/or reduced uric acid excretion. Based on the different mechanisms underlying the occurrence of hyperuricemia, g
