The favored approach to the diagnosis of gout is based upon the identification of intracellular monosodium urate (MSU) crystals found in the synovial fluid aspirate of an affected joint, under polarizing light microscopy. But when this is not possible, a clinical diagnosis can be deduced with the help of classical clinical features, including the history and physical examination, laboratory findings, and various imaging studies.
 
Several sets of diagnostic criteria exit (see table).<ref name="pmid19125136">{{cite journal| author=Malik A, Schumacher HR, Dinnella JE, Clayburne GM| title=Clinical diagnostic criteria for gout: comparison with the gold standard of synovial fluid crystal analysis. | journal=J Clin Rheumatol | year= 2009 | volume= 15 | issue= 1 | pages= 22-4 | pmid=19125136 | doi=10.1097/RHU.0b013e3181945b79 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19125136  }} </ref>
