About Gout
Gout affects more than 9 million Americans, though not all seek treatment or have the disease under control. It is a form of arthritis caused by a buildup of uric acid in the body. The condition leads to sudden, intense pain and swollen joints that may become red and hot. It is common for gout patients to have trouble walking, climbing stairs or completing everyday tasks like caring for family members or doing household chores.
