What is Gout?

Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. One in four people with chronic kidney disease also have Gout. In healthy individuals, uric acid dissolves in the bloodstream, is filtered by the kidneys, and then excreted through urine. However, when the body produces excessive uric acid, the kidneys may not effectively eliminate uric acid, causing a buildup in the blood and subsequent crystallization in the joints and causing Gout.

 

Who Gets Gout?

Gout is a type of arthritis that occurs due to the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Gout can affect adults -men between 30 and 50 years of age and women after menopause. Gout is rare in children and young adults. Anyone who has had Gout knows the pain of a gout attack, which can be a severe attack of pain, feels like fire. There is swelling, redness, and tenderness, and the joint has a limited range of motion. Gout inflammation can affect any joint in the body, but most often, it affects the base of the big toe joint.

 

Gout Causes

People who have trouble metabolizing purines can lead to having Hyperuricemia or Gout. Purines are a common chemical compound or amino acid in foods and drinks. These natural chemical compounds 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 form acid crystals in joints, resulting in Gout. Uric crystals can collect in the urinary tract causing kidney stones.Ā 

 

Control Gout Flare-up

  • DietĀ Lessened uric acid production by decreasing high purine foods such as meat protein, seafood, sweetened beverage, and alcohol (especially beer.)
  • Vegetables – Nightshade vegetables containing high purine should be minimized or avoided (white potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, bell and cayenne pepper, and paprika.Ā 
  • Weight ManagementĀ Ā – Obesity produces more uric acid
  • Medical Conditions –Ā Untreated high blood pressure, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney disease can cause Gout.Ā 
  • MedicationĀ – Some medications, such as diuretics, other over the counter pain relief medication, and anti-rejection organ medication, can cause Gout
  • Organic Apple CiderĀ helps flush out uric acid
