Abstract
Gout is a metabolic process characterized by the deposition of uric acid crystals in various tissues of the body. Pathogenesis of gout is based on the accumulation of uric acid salts and its reduced renal elimination, leading to an increase in its concentration in the blood. Clinically, gout manifests itself in the form of recurrent attacks of arthritis with the formation of tophi. Development of renal pathology is also noted against the background of arthritis. The disease is more common among men, however, recently, cases of lesions of women are not rare. Prevalence of gout increases with age. Medicines that affect the pathogenetic mechanism of the disease are used for the treatment, as well as drugs for symptomatic treatment.
