Abstract
Gout affects over 1% of the world’s adult population and, furthermore, gout is the form of inflammatory arthritis most prevalent in men. Gout incidence rates are now on the rise due to aging-associated effects depending on quality of life, and comorbid conditions, and the efficiency of their management. Gout is traditionally considered a disease affecting men, although, in fact, women prevail among elderly patients. The growth trends in gout incidence throughout the world point to the necessity of developing novel diagnostic markers.
