Abstract

Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis among the adult population. Rare cases of the disease are reported in childhood. The rarity of gout in children prompts the following case report with a review of literature. This is a clinical case of a 13-year-old non-obese boy admitted to the nephrology department for repeated migratory joint pain with hyperuricemia and renal dysfunction, where gout seems to be the most likely underlying cause.
