The most frequent signs of gout mimic other forms of arthritis, though the symptoms are usually limited to a specific joint. Common symptoms of gout include the following:
hyperuricemia (an excess of uric acid in the body)
presence of uric acid crystals in joint fluid
more than one attack of acute arthritis
arthritis that develops in a day, producing a swollen, red, and warm joint
attack of arthritis in only one joint (typically the toe, ankle, or knee)
