Top Ten Causes of Gout
By
Lisa McDowell
The disease of Gout is caused by the accumulation of too much
uric acid in the body. Substances called purines are broken
down and the outcome is an abundance of uric acid. Purines can
be found in tissues all over the body. Purines can also be
found in many foods that we eat such as liver, anchovies, peas,
and green beans. Generally uric acid is naturally dissolved in
the blood. The uric acid passes through the kidneys in the body
and then exits the body in the urine. Sometimes though uric acid
builds up in the blood when:
1. The body naturally increases the amount of uric acid it
produces.
2. The kidneys, for some reason, do not do their job of
purifying the blood and does not exit enough of the uric acid
from the body.
3. A person eats a diet that consists of foods that have high
levels of purines.
When the uric levels in the blood are very high it is then
called hyperuricemia as most people that have hyperuricemia do
not go onto develop gout. Gout can develop though if there are
large amounts of uric acid crystals form in the body.
