Gout is is the result of an elevated level of uric acid crystallising in the joints causing irritation/pain and tissue inflammation. Uric acid is a waste product produced by the body. It goes into the blood and then through the kidneys and finally removed with urine.

The systems involved in the causes of gout are The circulatory system and the kidneys. the systems directly affected are the synovial fluids where uric acid crystals settle and the cartilage that is lubricated by the affected synovial fluid.

Is there a relationship between high or low potassium and gout?

Yes, there is a relationship between potassium levels and gout. High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) can occur in patients with kidney issues, which may also contribute to increased uric acid levels, a key factor in gout. Conversely, low potassium levels (hypokalemia) can lead to increased urinary excretion of uric acid, potentially reducing gout flare-ups. However, the direct impact of potassium levels on gout is still an area of ongoing research.
