gout
n.

Gout
Gout (also called metabolic arthritis) is a disease due to a
congenital disorder of
uric acid metabolism. In this condition, monosodium urate or uric acid
crystals are deposited on the articular
cartilage of joints, tendons and surrounding tissues due to elevated concentrations of uric acid in the blood stream. This provokes an inflammatory reaction of these tissues. These deposits often increase in size and burst through the skin to form sinuses discharging a chalky white material.
