title: [Gout - new approaches to diagnostics and treatment].
abstract: An attack of gout is extremely painful. Recurrent attacks of arthritis in one or more joints or tendon sheaths accompanied by intense pain are typical of this commonly occurring condition. As these symptoms indicate acute inflammation due to uric acid crystal deposition, good diagnostics are essential to enable initiation of drug treatment which removes the crystals deposited in tissue.
