1. Each of the following are true of gout except:
A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
B. Hyperuricemia can lead to crystal deposition in joints
C. Gout commonly affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint
D. Acute attacks are characterized by inflammation and pain
Correct Answer: A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
Verified Explanation:
Uric acid is only sparingly soluble in synovial fluid, especially at lower
temperatures, facilitating the precipitation of monosodium urate crystals in
peripheral joints such as the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Hyperuricemia
predisposes individuals to gout because exceeding uric acid solubility results
in crystal formation and subsequent inflammatory response. Thus, option A is
incorrect and does not accurately describe gout's pathophysiology.
