No, a diuretic is something that cause your body to lose fluid. that means that the uric acid that exists in your blood reaches a higher concentration. this in turn leads to the situation where a saturation point is reached and the acid has to start crystallising, which leads to gout. there fore any thing that removes water from the system will increase the possibility of having gout. not drinking water will have the same effect.
The gout diet is not a diet to lose weight. It is a diet you follow if you have gout. Please see the following: www.mayoclinic.com/health/gout-diet/MY01137 -
I've been told that lemon juice works as a diuretic. Would diet lemonade work as well or the same?
Osmotic diuretics are a type of diuretic not a specific drug. Osmotic diuretics work by increasing blood flow to the kidneys and preventing the tubes in the kidneys from making such concentrated urine so that there is no gradient for water to be reabsorbed so you will pee all that water out. An example of an osmotic diuretic is mannitol.
A diuretic that acts at the distal part of the nephron is usually a thiazide or thiazide-like diuretic, such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. These diuretics work by inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule of the nephron, leading to increased urine output.
No it doesnt work, get your testosterone checked first, that and side effects from meds like cholesterol meds is the most likely problem
Caffeine is a diuretic because it inhibits the reabsorption of water in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. This occurs by blocking the action of a hormone called adenosine, which normally promotes water retention.
Perhaps there is another form of arthritis at work.
I have seen it work in 15 minutes.
The feet and hands are the most likely place for gout to occur and these are very important in the body's mobility and its ability to work. so it would seem fair to say the hands and feet.
