    This document outlines the stages of gout progression. The third stage, intercritical stage, is asymptomatic and occurs between gout flares which can last variable durations. The fourth stage, chronic tophaceous gout, involves chronic polyarticular gout with tissue deposition of urate crystals called tophi, which are typically non-tender and non-painful. This final stage also involves a chronic inability to eliminate urate from the body.
