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.

Can low potassium cause gout?

Eating acidic foods usually cause the gout. Eating foods that are high in purine causes gout. Diuretics like coffee can also cause gout. When you drink a lot of coffee, you go to the bathroom a lot. Going to the bathroom a lot causes the loss of potasium. Being low in potassium could be a part of gout, but it is these other foods that cause the loss of potassium. Bananas, white potatoes and strawberries are very high in potassium. So eat those. Cherry's, sweet or sour are also very good at curing gout.
