What is Gout ❓ Symptoms and Causes‼ Gout is a type of inflammatory arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Uric acid is a byproduct of the breakdown of purines, which are substances found in certain foods and naturally occurring in the body. When the body produces too much uric acid or is unable to excrete it efficiently, crystals can form and deposit in the joints, leading to inflammation and pain. #healthapta #gout #arthritis #UricAcid #symptoms #causes #Joint
