gout Painful disease caused by accumulation of crystals of
uric acid in the synovial fluid of joints; may be due to excessive synthesis and metabolism of
purines, which are metabolized to uric acid, or to impaired excretion of uric acid. Traditionally associated with a rich diet, although there is little evidence for dietary factors in causing the condition. May be exacerbated by alcohol.
