Abstract

This review describes the three broad stages of acute inflammation in the context of gout: initiation, leucocyte mobilization, and self-resolution. A typical case of a gout flare is presented. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome in acute monosodium urate crystal-induced inflammation is reviewed in detail. Treatment strategies for gout are outlined in the context of the mechanisms of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated acute inflammation.
