Abstract:
Gout is a rheumatic disease characterized by hyperuricemia. It causes recurrent
attacks of inflammation, pain, disability, and discomfort due to the accumulation
of urate crystals in the joints, caused by overproduction or underexcretion of
uric acid. Recent studies have shown that gout patients are prone to
cardiovascular disease, including coagulation disorders like PE and DVT. The
paper aims to summarize the possible link between gout and coagulation
disorders by studying the molecular and genetic features of gout patients [1,2].
