What Is Gouty Arthritis?
admin answers:
What is gouty arthritis? Gout is a term which pertains to the presence of characteristic crystals in tissues and joints. Gouty arthritis is the result of an inflammatory response mounted against these characteristic crystals in joints.
As a result of that, the affected joints become swollen, red and painful. The joints most frequently affected by gouty arthritis are the first metacarpal phalangeal joint or the thumb joint and the first metatarsal phalangeal joint or the joint of the big toe.
Other joints may be affected as well and these include the knee joints, shoulder joints and rarely, the hip joints.
