Solution
The correct option is A Gouty arthritis
Increased uric acid levels in the blood may lead to deposits of urate crystals in and around the joints.
These crystals can attract white blood cells, leading to severe, painful gout attacks and chronic arthritis called as gouty arthritis.
Uric acid deposition is due to the abnormal metabolism of nitrogenous waste.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and density that lead to an increased risk of fracture. Osteoarthritis is caused by injury, age or obesity.
In this, there is pain and stiffness in the joint. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints.
