“…The single most important risk factor is sustained hyperuricaemia, which can be caused by overproduction or underexcretion of urate 23. Pathological hyperuricaemia has been defined as the serum uric acid concentration (408 μmol/L) above which monosodium urate crystals form in vitro at physiological pH and temperature.…”

“…For most people with gout, underexcretion is the main cause of hyperuricaemia. Other factors associated with the development of gout include drugs (such as diuretics, ciclosporin, and low dose aspirin), renal impairment, excessive consumption of red meat or seafood, fructose-sweetened drinks, and alcohol (in particular, beer and spirits) 234…”

“…Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis and its incidence in the UK has steadily increased from 1.5% in 1997 to 2.5% in 2012 12. It is characterised by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints and tissues and usually presents with intermittent painful attacks followed by long periods of remission 3.…”
