Glossary of Diseases and Conditions

Gout is an inflammatory (allergic response) reaction to uric acid crystals that develop and build inside the feet, knuckles, and surrounding bone joints as a result of elevated uric acid levels in the blood, causing excruciating joint pain. The pain may be considerable, but medicine helps to alleviate it. Repeated gout attacks may necessitate long-term therapy to avoid bone and cartilage damage as well as renal weakness. Chronic gout sufferers may notice little hard lumps growing in the sensitive flesh of their wrists, elbows, ankles, or earlobes. These deposits, known as tophi, are uric acid crystal concentrations that can cause discomfort and stiffness over time.

Kidney stones are a disease that occurs when hard deposits form in the kidney, resulting in stones. Calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine are the major components of kidney stones. It is caused by a rise in uric acid levels in the body. Renal calculi/nephrolithiasis/urolithiasis develops as a result of uric acid crystals forming in the kidney.
