Gout
Immunology · 3 drugs · 2 indications
Common inflammatory arthritis caused by uric acid crystal deposits in joints. Extremely painful flares. Affects ~9.2 million adults in the US (~4% of adults). While most patients are managed with allopurinol/febuxostat, ~1 million patients have "uncontrolled gout" where uric acid remains high despite oral therapy, leading to tophi (crystal deposits visible as lumps under skin) and progressive joint destruction.
