Gout—an ancient disease reviewed
GM, 39, December, 2009
Gout is a very common disease, particularly in older men. It manifests as swollen painful joints resulting from intra-articular deposition of monosodium urate crystals. Initial treatment is with high doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and if patients are unresponsive, colchicine or corticosteroids can be used.
