Current concepts of the mechanism of acute inflammation in gouty arthritis

I Spilberg. Arthritis Rheum. 1975 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

The acute gouty attack develops after free crystalline monosodium urate crystals appear in the joint cavity (1). Recent developments in the investigation of urate crystal-induced inflammation have led to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of acute gouty arthritis. The purpose of this review is to summarize present concepts concerning the mechanism of the acute gouty attack.
