Gouty Arthritis
is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid
crystals in joints. It is an intensely painful disease, which in most
cases affects only one joint (monoarthritis), most commonly the big toe.
The term “gout” comes from the Latin word “gutta” meaning “a drop” from
the belief that gout was caused by drops of morbid humors and may be
related to the large lumps of urate deposits
