Gout - Uric Acid disorder

Introduction

Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high levels of uric acid - a by-product of the body - in blood and tissues.

In some patients, high levels of uric acid are activated by a diet rich in chemicals called pureness found in anchovies, walnuts and foods of animal origin (derived from the liver, kidneys and joints).

 In other patients, the bodily production of uric acid itself is simply too high, regardless of their diet.

This can also happen in certain hereditary genetic metabolic disorders, leukemia and cytotoxic therapy for cancer (chemotherapy). Lately, gout can also occur when renal excretion (kidney) uric acid is very low.

 This happens in some forms of kidney disease in chronic hunger and excessive alcohol consumption.

For some patients, it is a combination of factors that lead to excess uric acid in the body and consequently to drop.
