Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints.
It commonly affects the big toe but can also involve ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
Risk factors include obesity, high-purine diet, alcohol consumption, kidney disease, and family history.
Symptoms include sudden and severe joint pain, swelling, redness, and warmth, often at night.
Treatment involves medications to reduce pain and inflammation, uric acid–lowering drugs, and lifestyle changes.
