Gout is caused by high levels of uric acid in the bloodstream and tissues which can lead to painful arthritis when uric acid crystals deposit in joints. Symptoms of gout typically involve sudden, severe pain in one joint, usually the big toe. If left untreated, gout may result in kidney stones due to uric acid accumulation. Treatments for gout aim to reduce uric acid levels and relieve pain, and may include anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen, or corticosteroids.
