Causes

These natural chemical compound are  metabolized by the body and turned into uric acid. Uric acid is then filtered out of the bloodstream by the kidneys. If excess uric acid builds up in the bloodstream, it can lead to the formation of acid crystals in joints resulting in Gout. Uric cyrstals can collect in the urinary tract causing kidney stones. Gout inflammation can happen in any joint.
