Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gout is a disorder characterized by an excess of uric acid in the body, leading to the formation of monosodium urate crystals in the joints, resulting in severe pain and inflammation. As a consequence, both serum and synovial fluid concentrations of uric acid are elevated in patients with gout. High protein levels can also be seen in the synovial fluid, but glucose and complement levels are typically within normal limits.
