Introduction
Gout is a common form of arthritis that is caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. One of the risk factors for developing gout is high levels of uric acid in the blood. Interestingly, there may be a relationship between the deposition of uric acid crystals and levels of glucosamine, a naturally occurring amino sugar in the body. This article explores the possible relationship between glucosamine and uric acid deposition in the body.
