Why do these crystals form, and how are they linked to the excruciating pain experienced by those with gout? Find out more in this episode of Medicurio.

Something that intrigued me when I was researching about gout was why there were even proteins that reabsorb uric acid from the urine when all it does is cause hyperuricemia.
