What's the difference between gout and urate?

Gout


Definition:

  • (n.) A drop; a clot or coagulation.
  • (n.) A constitutional disease, occurring by paroxysms. It consists in an inflammation of the fibrous and ligamentous parts of the joints, and almost always attacks first the great toe, next the smaller joints, after which it may attack the greater articulations. It is attended with various sympathetic phenomena, particularly in the digestive organs. It may also attack internal organs, as the stomach, the intestines, etc.
  • (n.) A disease of cornstalks. See Corn fly, under Corn.
  • (n.) Taste; relish.

Urate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of uric acid; as, sodium urate; ammonium urate.
