Gout is a chronic joint disease associated with deposition of monosodium urate crystals, as a consequence of hyperuricemia. Gout is an intermittent flaring condition and acute gout flares are driven by NLRP3 inflammasome and IL1-beta production. However pathogenesis of acute gout flares remains poorly known in vivo in human. The aim of this study is to evaluate NLRP3 inflammasome activation in vivo in patients cells during acute gout flares.
