Gout

Currently, there is no cure for gout. If you have been prescribed medicines for gout, it is important that you take those medicines as instructed to prevent future attacks. And making changes in your diet is also an effective way to deal with gout.

Yes. But gout (uric acid in the bloodstream) is rare among younger individuals.

It can affect your sex life by making erections and intercourse painful.

I don't think so. High uric acid usually has something to do with the pH level of the urine in your bladder. It can lead to bladder infections and gallstones. Drink a glass of cranberry juice nefore you go to bed to have less uric acid in your bladder, thus lowering the chances of developing a bladder infection and/or gallstones.

Suppressed gout refers to a condition where the typical symptoms of gout, such as severe pain and inflammation in the joints, are not present despite high levels of uric acid in the blood. This can occur due to the use of medications that lower uric acid levels or when the body adapts to chronic high uric acid levels without showing acute symptoms. While it may seem less concerning, suppressed gout can still lead to joint damage over time if not managed properly. Regular monitoring and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications.

Beetroot is low in purines, which are compounds that can contribute to gout when metabolized into uric acid. Therefore, eating beetroot is unlikely to trigger a gout attack. In fact, beetroot has anti-inflammatory properties and may even be beneficial for overall health. However, individuals with gout should always consult their healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.

Gout iscaused by too much uric acid build up in the blood stream in most cases it is first noticed in the joint of the big toe. The accumulation of uric acid in the blood can bring about a situation where it begins to crystallize int fine sharp crystals that can find their way into the synovial fluid of joints (especially the peripheral joints such as the feed and hands where the blood is coolest. they can also collect in places like the ears and other skin extremity's in the form described as tophy looking like lumps under the skin. The pain can be accompanied by inflammation swelling, redness and stiffness malformation and eventual destruction of joint in joints.

More than half of people that have had an attack of gouty arthritis will have another usually within six months to two years. in the case of severe gout, long-term medication is recommended to control uric acid production, which will prevent attacks and also cause tophi ( uric acid crystal deposits) to go away.

When I feel an attack coming on I drink 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with about 8 ounces of water. I started this during my last attack 6 months ago. I also drink lemon water. I just turned 30 so am really hopeful that the baking soda continues to work so that I don't have to suffer with this regularly for the next 40 years or so. I have had a couple scares during the last 6 months, but the baking soda routine seems to keep it at bay. I don't incorporate the baking soda in my diet all the time, only when I feel an attack coming on.

Yes, eggplant has high level of uric acid in them.

yes

The diagnoses that can be linked to procedure code 84550 (Uric Acid) are those of gout, renal failure, psoriasis, and anorexia or other starving conditions. Patients receiving cytotoxic medications can also be monitored through test of Uric Acid. The procedure code 80053 ( Complete Metabolic Panel) may be used to monitor diabetes or high blood pressure. It is oftentimes used as part of a complete physical examination.

It is possible that high altitude can cause a gout attack in some cases. In 2002, a paper published in the American Journal of Kidney Disease supports the belief that gout flares are experienced by some people who move to a higher altitude. The reduction of oxygen in the blood at higher altitudes causes cells to generate excess uric acid and causes the blood to hold less uric acid in solution, which can bring on gout attacks in about half the people who suffer from gout.

Also, chronic exposure to high altitude is associated with the development of erythrocytosis, proteinuria, and, in some cases, hyperuricemia. Urate production (24-hour urine urate excretion and urine urate-creatinine ratio) was increased. The increase in uric acid levels appears to be caused by increased urate generation secondary to systemic hypoxia, although a relative impairment in renal excretion also may contribute Hyperuricemia. Among Hyperuricemia, 19% of patients suffered from gout.The people born in plane side residing in high altitude are more prone to Gout compared to people born in high altitude . The prevalence of Gout is greater in high altitude.

It is OK to eat tomatoes if you have gout, tomato's are one of the low risk foods for gout sufferers.

You dont, unless you are just plain lucky.

The latest information I can find says that nuts do not contribute to gout, and actually recommends them as snacks. So, as many as you like ... in moderation, of course; they are high in fats and calories.

Birds

yes by eating bit by bit

yes

I reckon it triggered mine. I drank it a lot last year and had many gouts episodes. Stopped drinking it for 6 months and with medication had few and milder bouts. I drank a bottle of V8 last week and now I have had gout of medium intensity for four days and getting worse. Coincidence perhaps, but I won't be drinking it again.

I would suggest cranberry juice instead.

yes warm water mix with alot of salt.(4 table spoon of salt).this will relieve pain.

Tylenol will not cure the pain of gout. It's better to treat the cause of gout: perhaps get a prescription for Colchicine and make diet changes..but for pain you need an anti-inflammatory. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not an anti-inflammatory. There are some very good prescription Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatoriy Drugs (NSAIDS) or OTC NSAIDS like Aleve and Motrin. This is very painful and you may need something stronger until you can relieve the condition in your joint(s). Hopefully it will disappear and never come back. There are also specific medications for gout that your doctor can suggest.
