- crystallization-factors
- Assertion
- Low temperature, pH 7–9 and high sodium concentration reduce urate solubility, and damaged joints (for example from injury or osteoarthritis) are more prone to crystal deposition and gout.
- Quote
Low temperatures, pH 7~9 and high concentration of sodium ions are known factors that reduce urate solubility and promote MSU crystallization. And joints that are damaged, such as those injured or affected by osteoarthritis, tend to have MSU crystal deposition and are more likely to develop gout
