    Gouty arthritis is characterized by monosodium urate crystal deposition and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome–IL-1β axis.

  • 2

    Immunometabolism influences the intensity and duration of gouty inflammation through metabolic alterations in immune cells.

  • 3

    MSU crystals trigger lysosomal damage, potassium efflux, and mitochondrial stress, leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

  • 4

    IL-1β is a key mediator in acute gouty inflammation, promoting the recruitment of neutrophils and amplifying local inflammation.

  • 5

    The relationship between crystal deposition and clinical flares is complex, with host response states and tissue microenvironment playing significant roles.
