Extractions: Gout is a type of arthritis (inflammation of the joints) that mostly affects men age 40 and older. It is nearly always associated with chronic hyperuricemia , a long-lasting, abnormally high concentration of uric acid in the blood. The process leading to gout begins with the metabolism of purines , nitrogen-containing compounds, that are important for energy. Purines can be divided into two types, endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous purines are synthesized within the nuclei of cells in the human body itself, whereas the exogenous purines are obtained from foods. All mammals, except humans, possess an enzyme called uricase that breaks purines down into a very soluble product called allantoin. Humans, however, lack this enzyme, and the end point of their purine metabolism is uric acid, a useless substance that can build up in tissues in the body if it is not adequately eliminated in urine. Uric acid is produced in the liver and enters the bloodstream. Most uric acid eventually passes through the kidneys and is excreted in the urine; the rest is disposed of in the intestines, where it is processed and oxidized by bacteria. Normally these processes keep the concentration of uric acid in the blood plasma (the liquid part of the blood) below 6.8 milligrams per deciliter (6.8 mg/dL). Under certain circumstances, however, the body produces too much uric acid or excretes too little. This results in higher levels and increased concentrations of uric acid in the blood, and hyperuricemia develops. At normal body temperature and below, uric acid concentrations increase; as they approach 7 mg/dL, the blood becomes supersaturated, and needlelike crystals of a salt called monosodium urate (MSU) form. In time, as MSU crystals accumulate, they cause inflammation and pain, symptoms typical of gout.

Approximately 90% of gout patients are male. The peak age for onset of symptoms in men is between 40 and 50; women rarely have gout before menopause. Gout is closely related to the diet, but may be brought on by stress. Obesity and an improper diet increase the tendency for gout. Also called the "disease of kings" and "rheumatism of the rich" because of the rich diets people consume. Back to Top Most cases are without symptoms. When an acute attack occurs it usually begins at night with moderate pain that increases in intensity to the point where no body position provides relief. The big toe is a frequent site. If you think you might have gout, have your doctor do a test to diagnose and treat the condition.

http://www.drvaishnav.com/gout.htm

Extractions: This is a metabolic disorder. It affects joints and later the kidneys. It is a disorder where the uric acid is not metabolised well. The serum (blood) level of this normal substance is high. The raised levels of uric acid may be due to over production or reduced excretion. The higher levels allow the uric acid crystals to get deposited in and around the joints. This causes severe pain, swelling and redness of that area. The crystals can also get deposited in the kidneys to form uric acid stones What can precipitate an attack? There is a sudden, acute onset of severe pain involving any one joint or one side of a joint. The commonest joint is the ball of the great toe. The area suddenly becomes red, painful and swollen. It may be difficult to move the part due to the pain. Occasionally, people mistake it to be due to an injury. However, it is not possible to have such a severe pain due to an injury that one cannot remember definitely. How does one control the disease?

http://www.health911.com/remedies/rem_gout.htm

Extractions: Home Bookstore Ailments Folk Remedies ... Contact Us Gout is associated with high blood pressure, kidney disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and uric acid kidney stones. Traditional treatment is high doses of NSAIDS or indomethacin to kill the pain, anti-inflammatories, and drugs, such as allopurinol, that inhibit formation of uric acid. Allopurinol, however, has some serious side effects, such as skin eruptions, liver toxicity, inflammation of the blood vessels, and possible weakening of kidney function by forcing the kidneys to work too hard to excrete the uric acid. If you have kidney problems and use this drug, be sure to be carefully monitored. Another drug that is used is colchicine, but it, too, has serious side effects, including numbness in the hands and feet, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, weakness, hair loss, and abnormal bleeding or bruising. Cortisone is used for acute attacks, but should not be used for extended periods. Your doctor can diagnose whether or not you have gout either through a blood test or by taking some fluid from an affected joint and analyzing it for urate crystals. Gout is caused by high blood levels of uric acid that crystallize and form painful deposits in the joints. Traditional thinking tells us that gout is the result of excessive amounts of alcohol, protein, heavy foods, coffee and soft drinks in your diet. These foods cause uric acid levels to rise. Reduction in consumption of these foods is very often successful in reducing or eliminating gout.

Uric acid is a normal waste product produced by the body. Usually, uric acid in the blood is filtered out by the kidneys, but in some people the levels are so high that the excess uric acid settles out as tiny crystals. If these crystals are deposited in the joints, they can cause inflammation and severe pain. The symptoms of gout usually appear very suddenly and violently in a single joint. The joint becomes red, swollen, hot and painful. Very often, the big toe is affected first and then other joints, such as the feet, knees and elbows may be affected. The first attack of gout may last several days then disappear; there may not be another episode for many weeks, months or years. Between episodes of gout, people are usually completely symptom free. Gout may be triggered under certain conditions, for example, following alcoholic drinks, overeating protein-rich food or after physical stresses such as surgery or illness.

FAI - Gout And Your Feet
gout and Your Feet. gout is a form of arthritis that occurs as a result of thebuildup of uric acid in the body and the joint fluid (hyperuricemia).
http://www.acfas.org/brgoutft.html

Extractions: Gout and Your Feet Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs as a result of the build-up of uric acid in the body and the joint fluid (hyperuricemia). This accumulation of uric acid typically occurs when the body has difficulty processing certain protein substances called purines (PURE-EENS) that are found naturally in our diets. The actual build-up of uric acid can result when the body has difficulty eliminating uric acid through the kidneys and urine, or in some cases, when the body produces too much uric acid. The tendency to accumulate uric acid is often hereditary. It can, however, skip an individual or even a generation and reappear in the children of someone who has no signs of gout. While it is most commonly seen in males between fifty and sixty years of age, gout does occur in females and in younger males. Additional Gout Foot Sites Small Toe And Ankle Symptoms Gout usually starts with a sudden onset of intense pain in one or more joints, usually the big toe joint of the foot. The pain is accompanied by redness, swelling and warmth over the joint. Typically, the patient does not recall injuring the joint before the pain started. Many patients say they first noticed pain in the middle of the night or upon arising in the morning.

Extractions: By Stephenie Karony Q) My husband has gout. What exactly is gout and what causes it? A) Years ago gout was thought of as a disease of the rich. The typical victim was overweight, drank too much alcohol and ate too much rich food. In reality most anyone can get gout if the conditions are right. Food is a factor in that certain foods can exacerbate gout, but food won't cause it. Gout is the result of crystals deposited in the joints. These crystals build up because of an abnormally high level of uric acid in the individual's blood. If the kidneys can't eliminate enough uric acid, it accumulates in the blood and forms crystals, which then settle in the joints. These same crystals can also settle in the kidneys, which is one cause of kidney stones. Uric acid is a breakdown product of proteins called purines. Some people inherit a deficiency that makes it difficult to metabolize purines. Such individuals are prone to gout. Also some medications for the treatment of hypertension can interfere with the metabolism of purines. Foods containing purines can precipitate an attack of gout in people who are unable to properly digest them. Foods that are rich in purines include red meat, mussels and sardines, cheese, mushrooms, spinach, and red wine.

Extractions: GOUT INTRODUCTION Gout can be a painful condition, which often affects men rather, then women. The most common age group that is affected is between 50-60, however, it can occur in young males and females. It has been referred to as an acquired disease or a form of arthritis. The inflammation and pain in the joint is caused due to a build up of excess uric acid crystals. It can affect other parts of the body such as the hands. APPEARANCE The above diagram shows the areas in which gout is most likely to occur in the feet. SYMPTOMS CAUSES May be inherited or acquired Proteins that we eat are broken into energy and waste products. One of these waste products is Uric Acid. If the kidneys are unable to filter the uric acid, uric acid may crystallize and deposit into joints. This causes an inflammatory reaction. Minor foot injury may also trigger an attack of gout.

The inflammatory component is so intense, an acute attack of gout is often mistaken for a bacterial cellulitis. Even among other types of inflammatory arthritis, gout is considered the most painful with the patient unable to bear weight or put on a shoe over the affected joint and often prompting an off hour trip to the emergency room. Chills, a low grade fever and an elevated white blood cell count can occur, mimicking an infection. Characteristically, early gout attacks resolve spontaneously after 3 to 4 days. The first MTP joint (podagra) is the first joint affected in 50% of cases followed other lower extremity joints. Over 90% of patients who present with acute polyarticular gout have a history of podagra. The victim goes to bed and sleeps in good health. About 2 o'clock in the morning, he is awakened by a severe pain in the great toe; more rarely in the heel, ankle or instep. This pain is like that of a dislocation, and yet the parts feel as if cold water were poured over them. Then follows chills and shiver and a little fever. The pain which at first moderate becomes more intense. With its intensity the chills and shivers increase. After a time this comes to a full height, accommodating itself to the bones and ligaments of the tarsus and metatarsus. Now it is a violent stretching and tearing of the ligaments now it is a gnawing pain and now a pressure and tightening. So exquisite and lively meanwhile is the feeling of the part affected, that it cannot bear the weight of bedclothes nor the jar of a person walking in the room.
