It isn't "contracted" really. Rather it is a result of having too much uric acid in your system. This build-up of uric acid causes crystals to form, especially at the joints, and the ensuing pain from gout is a result of the inflammation from those crystals forming. Certain foods and drinks such as seafood, pork and alcohol can elevate the risk of gout while vitamin C, coffee, dairy products and physical exercise have been shown to reduce the risk of gout.
That is very good question! You do not have any thing like partially contracted muscle fibres, most probably. What you have got is partially contracted muscles. The muscle is more or less contracted as per the number of muscle fibres that are contracted at any given time.
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.
