Continued elevated SUA can result in MSU (Monosodium Urate) crystal deposition in all over body, including joints, soft tissues, cartilage, and organs. The peak age of onset in males is between 40 and 60 years. Hyperurecemia can be defined as the serum uric acid level more than 7 mg/dL in males and 6 mg/dL in females.Classically, gout has been described as occurring in four stages: 1.asymptomatic hyperuricemia, 2.acute gouty arthritis,3. intecritical gout, and 4.advanced or chronic gout
