39. Gout
Abstract
Gout is a disease of multiple presentation. Joint involvement is common, and signs in the foot often constitute the first manifestation. The cardiovascular system, the alimentary tract, the liver and the kidneys are also affected by the overload of urates and uric acid due to both excessive production and deficient elimination (Sorensen 1969).
