Gout is characterized by high levels of uric acid in the bloodstream. A painful condition that affects the cartilage of the joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues, gout occurs when crystals of uric acid are deposited in these areas, which causes acute arthritis and can lead to chronic inflammation. Gout treatments aim to prevent acute attacks of gout, manage the symptoms of attacks that occur, and lower your levels of serum uric acid.
