Joint urate deposits: Gout is an arthritis. The patients have elevated uric acid in the blood. The uric acid is metabolized to the sodium salt of uric acid which is called monosodium urate. Monosodium urate crystals are deposited throughout the body tissues and this is called total body urate stores. These urate crystals can be found in joints and stimulate the body protection cells to cause inflammation = gout!
