Gout And Uric Acid Information
Since close relatives in my family suffered from gout and uric acid pain, we became aware of the foods they needed to avoid like purine rich foods, and alcohol. There is always a concern that some family illnesses can be passed down to our children.
Of the many conditions she suffered from, gout was on the list, so I did a little research so that I could better understand should the need arise for me to include this in a hereditary list of ailments to present to our doctor.
My research basically found that small amounts of uric acid is normally found in humans and is waste produced by dying cells that release purines, your body can also absorb purines from food. When there is too much uric acid in your blood then a condition called hyperuricemia occurs.
If a person has hyperuricemia for many years usually more than 20 years then too much excess uric acid gets stored all through the person's body and then it's possible for the uric acid to crystallize into sodium urate. Then what can happen is that the crystals can accumulate in the persons joints which then sets them up for a painful attack of gout.
It becomes necessary for the person to lower their uric acid levels which will help to prevent getting sick from the symptoms of hyperuricemia and gout. Your doctor will work with you to help It is important to work with your physician to monitor your gout and your uric acid level.
You must visit your doctor and get him to take blood to test and measure. He test the blood for what is called serum uric acid levels.
To avoid getting gout you might need to go on medicine, or just change some habits that could be making gout symptoms arise.
Being overweight is a contributing factor in getting gout, for example if you are considered obese, then your body fat ratio is off balance with your height. This means that you could be increasing your risk for getting gout by four times. Maintaining a healthy weight is a major factor to keep from getting sick with gout.
A healthy weight keeps people from getting heart disease and high blood pressure as well, and there is research suggesting that hypertension and cardiovascular disease and even kidney related diseases may come from uric acid being too high. - 17269
