Gout Information » Urate Crystals Gout
Studies of urate crystallisation in relation to gout. Aug 1983. Fiddis RW et al. Laboratory studies of uric acid crystals confirm that temperature increase improves uric acid solubility. They claim that crystals form very slowly, though dissolve quickly when concentrations fall. However, they conclude that much more real life investigation is required to understand how the crystallization process can be halted in the body as compared to the test tube.
