Abstract


INTRODUCTION :
Gout is a metabolic disease, which is characterized by acute or chronic
arthritis, and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joint, bones,
soft tissues, and kidneys . Gout can either manifest as acute arthritis or
chronic arthropathy, which is also called tophaceous gout.The
prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia is on the rise in developing
countries probably related to population aging,alcohol intake,
hypertension,obesity,metabolic syndrome.
