,1. Each of the following are true of gout except:
A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
B. Hyperuricemia can lead to crystal deposi on in joints
C. Gout commonly affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint
D. Acute a!acks are characterized by inflamma on and pain
Correct Answer: A. Uric acid dissolves readily in synovial fluid
Verified Explana on:
Uric acid is only sparingly soluble in synovial fluid, especially at lower
temperatures, facilita ng the precipita on 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 forma on and subsequent inflammatory response. Thus, op on A is
incorrect and does not accurately describe gout's pathophysiology.
