Abstract
Gout is a condition characterized by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joints or soft tissue. A gouty tophus occasionally mimics an infectious or neoplastic process. However, the conventional enucleating procedure might cause complications. In severe cases, skin necrosis and tendon or joint exposure can occur after debridements. In this series, the soft-tissue shaver is used for deformity management of the chronic tophaceous patients and the results are encouraging. From November 2000 to August 2002, 17 patients with chronic tophaceous gout were treated by the shaver technique. Suction and irrigation were performed simultaneously while the shaver was operating, and chalky deposits of sodium urate could be removed efficiently. Skin necrosis was minimized by means of proper incision planning. Also, bedside debridements and wound wet dressing were helpful for improving the outcomes. The families and patients were satisfied with the results. In conclusion, severe chronic tophaceous gout can be a surgical challenge. The soft-tissue shaving technique can be useful for cosmetic debulking of large tophi in patients with advanced chronic tophaceous gouty arthritis.

You should understand that when people digest protein, uric acid is a byproduct of that digestion. Fish does not contain uric acid, it contains protein.

A vegetarian diet would work. Eat more avocados, less fish.

Uric acid is a by-product produced by the body when it metabolises cellular materials. Both as a result of the body breaking down its own cells and replacing them and as the result of our diet nearly all of the foods we eat are composed of what were living cells that lead to the production of uric acid in a greater or lesser degree. The uric acid level becomes abnormally high if the kidneys are unable to eliminate enough from the urine. Some cases are the result of the production of large amounts of uric acid because of a hereditary enzyme (inborn errors of purine-pyrimidine metabolism) abnormality and diseases such as blood cancer, in which cells multiply and are rapidly destroyed. Some types of kidney disease and certain drugs impair the kidney's ability to eliminate uric acid. People that are prone to gout are also more likely to suffer attacks as a result of surgery and wounds.

When body is unable to eliminate uric acid it will deposit a hardened crystallized form of uric acid (tophi) usually in the joints and skin. this leads to a very painful disorder referred to as as gouty arthritis or gout.
Where does uric acid in the urine come from?
Uric acid, which is found naturally in the blood stream, is formed as the body breaks down waste products, mainly those containing purine, a substance that is produced by the body and is also found in high concentrations in some foods
What is normal uric acid level in a body?
The exact level of uric acid that is considered too high is a matter for debate. In recent years it has been found that normal ranges of uric acid fluctuate widely. as a result of uric acid levels showing day to day and seasonal variations in the sameindividual, several uric acids levels may be required over a given period. Urine uric acid levels may also be used to evaluate gout or determine over secretion of uric acid.
Reference values: Serum Uric Acid
Adult males: 2.0 - 7.5 mg/dl
Adult females: 2.0 - 6.5 mg/dl; in early pregnancy uric acid levels fall by about one third but rise to non pregnant levels by term
Children (ages 10-18)
Males: 3.6 - 5.5 mg/dl; significant rise in males at ages 12-14 coincides with puberty.
Females: 3.6 - 4 mg/dl
Elderly:
Males older than 40: 2 - 8.5 mg/dl
Females older than 40: 2 - 8.0 mg/dl; rise in women related to menopause
The normal range for urinary uric acid is between 250 - 750 mg over a 24-hour period. Uric acid levels tend to vary day to day. It is also important to check the laboratory reference values for each work setting.
An elevated blood uric acid level, also known as hyperuricemia, is seen in:
Gout
Alcoholism
Dehydration
Leukemia and lymphoma
Starvation
Metabolic acidosis
Toxemia of pregnancy
Renal disease and renal failure
Infectious mononucleosis
Hyperlipidemia
Hemolytic anemia

Why should gout patients drink water?
Uric acid is not very soluble in water, however water is the only way that it can be eliminated from the body. By drinking a lot of water you are enabling more uric acid to be removed with urine, sweat and via the large intestine.
Does diuretic meds work agaianst gout?
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.
What is a natural cure for gout?
There is none that stands out. Gout had been with us for all of human history and it is not until recently that we have been able to relieve ( but necessarily stop) the pain involved. This is done with anti inflammatory and analgesics (pain killers) and with these come the side effects that may at times be a concern. However pain in itself can be a thing that leaves effects that harm the body and spirit, so it is all a mater of balancing it all out.
What is a high level of uric acid?
High uric acid in your system can lead to crystals forming in your tissues. It could lead to kidney stones and, gout etc. Gout is called the rich man's disease because it usually happens when one eats lots of meat among other things.

Alright there are some things that i actually use all together.
1) Cinnamon
2) Cranberry pills or cranberry juice unsweetened.
3) Corn silk
4) Drinking lots of water
Another thing that may help is Colloidal silver. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic. I would suggest though that if you use Colloidal silver user it in moderation, it can cause that weird skin problem (it's harmless) that makes your skin grey.
Cinnamon- Natural antibiotic, take up to 2 teaspoons a day or if you get cinnamon sticks eat 2 a day.
Try drinking a lot of water as well as taking all this at-home remedies. I have chronic bladder infections and I don't have medical insurance.
What type of excerise for uric acid?
exercises are not seen as part of the way to control Uric acid in the system. this is done with a controlled diet and and medications as prescribed or other alternative methods.
A product of protein metabolism that causes gout?
The body produces purines and purines are also introduced into the body as a result of diet. these are turned into uric acid in the blood stream. the kidney is supposed to remove most of it and some goes via the large intestine. If the body is unable to dispose of this material then the uric acid turns into sharp crystals that are the cause of gout.
Can a 21 year old girl get gout?
There is no specific age for gout. Usually its mid 30's to 40's, but anyone can get if they eat foods that raise uric acid levels. I'm 24 and I had a gout attack.
It can also hapen as a result of kidney problems.
Normally, uric acid dissolves in your blood and passes through your kidneys into your urine. But sometimes your body either produces too much uric acid or your kidneys excrete too little uric acid. If your body is working correctly then eating foods high in purines will not lead to gout.
