Question by surfmum: Can having gout cause high sugar levels in blood or vice versa.
I have been feeling exhausted lately and a bit sick in the mornings then I took gout in my fingers went to GP and he did a random blood sugar test. Now he wants a second fasting one as my first was high. I did have a bowl of frosties(reduced sugar) for my breakfast before I had the random one could that have caused it to be high? If so though surely most people must have high sugar levels in the morning after eating cereal.Anyway could it be diabetes?

Best answer:

Answer by bossdave
This sounds more like pre-diabetes type II. For sure the cereal affected the random test. Exhaustion is another sign. Are you thirsty a lot? Void a lot?

Fasting is much more accurate. Gout is a elevated level of uric acid in the blood affecting the extremeties, usually the lower ones. Very easily controlled with a maintenance dose of allopurinol 300 mg. Ask your doctor.

High Uric Acid In Blood Test – Testing For Gout

A test for high uric acid in blood may be called for when your doctor suspects that you may be suffering from gout. Recurring gout attacks can lead to permanently damaged joints and damaged kidneys, so it’s important always to get diagnosed by your doctor. Here, you’ll discover what causes high uric acid, what blood and urine tests can reveal, and, a summary of both drug-based and natural treatments for gout.

A blood test on its own will indicate measured levels of uric acid in your blood. This will tell the doctor whether you have higher-than-normal uric acid levels, and thus gout.

But a combined test which measures the levels of uric acid in both your blood and your urine can give an indication whether it’s your kidneys that aren’t working efficiently enough, or, that there is too much “purines” being produced in your body in the first place.

So what are these purines? They are chemical compounds that we find in our bodies and foods. They are used by our bodies in the processes that provide our bodies with protein and energy. But during those processes, the purines breakdown and uric acid is produced.

Your kidneys first process, then expel, excess uric acid from your body, leaving enough to act as beneficial antioxidants. But, in conditions where either, your kidneys aren’t able to process the acid efficiently enough, or, there is too much being produced by the breakdown of purines, then the excess acid is retained.

In other words there is too much uric acid being circulated in your blood. This then causes your gout, with all its symptoms like redness, inflammation, swelling and agonizing pain.

The combined test will thus establish, first, if you have higher than normal acid levels in your system, and secondly, whether this is caused by too much acid being produced, or, because you kidneys aren’t working efficiently.

If the levels in both your blood and your urine are the same, it indicates that your kidneys are o.k. and that too much is being produced. On the other hand, if the levels in your urine are less than in your blood, this indicates that it is your kidneys that aren’t processing the acid efficiently enough. Either way there is too much in your body and, all too often, the result is painful gout.

Most gout sufferers are prescribed drugs to deal with the symptoms of a gout attack which can last for a week, even longer. These are typically colchicines, corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs). You may also be described things like allopurinol to help reduce the high uric acid levels in your blood. These drugs have proven to be very effective.

But, they can only address the symptoms and not the underlying causes of high uric acid levels. Even the drugs to reduce the acid levels don’t do this. They can reduce the levels but not do anything about these underlying issues. So that, if you were to come off them, your levels are likely to rise again. This is why gout sufferers more or less take these everyday for the rest of their lives.

And let’s not forget their nasty side effects like headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach cramps, bleeding and stomach ulcers.

You can see then why so many people nowadays are turning to safer, more longer lasting natural remedies to treat their condition. There is just too much to go into detail here, but typical remedies are:-

(1) Drinking 2 to 3 liters of water every day to help flush uric acid out of your system.

(2) Eating cherries each day for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

(3) Using alternating hot and cold compresses to help circulation and reduce inflammation.

(4) Drinking raw apple cider on a daily basis to help alter blood pH and neutralize uric acid.

(5) Changing to a low-purine diet to reduce the amount of uric acid being produced in your system.

Totally natural remedies can both eliminate the symptoms of gout in the same way as drugs (but without their side effects), plus, help you manage your condition in a way that prevents further gout attacks.

And preventing frequent attacks is very important because they can lead to painful kidney stones, other kidney problems, and, permanent joint damage. In addition, once having suffered a gout attack you are extremely likely to suffer even more.

You’re in luck though. There’s a uric acid gout report available online that thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.

And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.

If you want to get gout pain relief in 2 hours, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com and discover how you can quickly do both without expensive drugs with their horrible side effects. Just click here.

Question by fsaroufim: gout may develop at how much blood uric acid range?
my uric acid is 7.5 i am 28 yrs old and exercise a lot .. is it dangerously high ?

Best answer:

Answer by matador 89
fsaroufim,
Uric acid is a chemical created when the body breaks down substances called purines. Purines are found in some foods and drinks, such as liver, anchovies, mackerel, dried beans and peas, beer, and wine. Most uric acid dissolves in blood and travels to the kidneys, where it passes out in urine. If your body produces too much uric acid or doesn’t remove enough if it, you can get sick. High levels of uric acid in the body is called hyperuricemia. The uric acid test is ordered when a doctor suspects high levels of uric acid. Some patients with high levels of uric acid have a disease called gout, which is an inherited disorder that affects purine breakdown. Higher than normal uric acid levels mean that the body is not handling the breakdown of purines well. The doctor will have to learn whether the cause is the over-production of uric acid, or if the body is unable to clear away the uric acid. Reference values are dependent on many factors, including patient age, gender, sample population, and test method, and numeric test results can have different meanings in different labs. Normal values fall between 3.0 and 7.0 mg/dL. The following may not be of use for you. Your level, which you quoted, is only just slightly elevated and may reduce within a short time. I shall mention some methods of reducing the uric acid levels, in case you find this of assistance. The easiest and healthiest way to lower uric acid is though proper eating habits and medication. This includes limiting alcohol and avoiding purine rich foods, which will convert to uric acid. Gout sufferers are usually men over the age of 40 who are mildly to severely obese. As this obviously does not apply to you becuase you state that your age is not 28 and you exercise a lot, you should, therefore, not have a great problem with weight. Therefore, diet and possibly medication – if your doctor decides that you require it – are likely all that you will need. Avoid alcohol consumption to lower uric acid. Large amounts of alcohol, especially beer and wine, both rich in purines, increase uric acid levels. Alcohol prevents excess uric acid from being removed from the kidneys through the urinary tract. Increase your dairy intake to lower your uric acid level. Low fat milk, yogurt and cheese are examples of dairy products considered helpful to gout sufferers. Drink plenty of water to lower uric acid. Liquids that are low in caffeine and calories help to remove uric acid from the blood stream. Since water is the most pure liquid, it should be consumed the most. Eat fruits and vegetables that are not high in purine to reduce uric acid. Fresh fruits including blueberries, strawberries, bananas and cherries are some of the fruits gout sufferers should include in their diet. Celery, tomatoes, cabbage, parsley, kale and all green leaf vegetables are also helpful in low uric acid diets. Follow your physician’s orders and supplement your diet with prescribed medications to reduce uric acid levels and prevent gout. Consult a physician who specializes in treating gout patients. Doctors who specialize in orthopedics, rheumatology and arthritis may have a better handle on treating gout. There are more than a dozen medications a physician can prescribe to help the body remove uric acid from the blood stream.

NOTE – BEWARE of answers like the answer from Mariya, above. This person posts answers to many different questions and advises certain drugs to assist the questioner with their problem. Always discuss the drugs that you take with your doctor, especially if you suffer from any disease or condition that is serious enough to warrant the prescription of a drug. Do NOT consider using any drug suggested in any forum or by any person without first consulting your doctor/specialist.

ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED, IN ANY FORUM AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS ONE. – MANY ANSWERS ARE FLAWED.

It is extremely important to obtain an accurate diagnosis before trying to find a cure. Many diseases and conditions share common symptoms.

Wondering how to remove uric acid from blood naturally? Then you’ve come to the right place. Here, you’ll discover how to reduce uric acid using 3 simple gout home remedies.

Gout is cause by high uric acid levels in your blood. When high uric acid is present needle-like microscopic crystals can form in your joints. This then gives rise to the swelling, inflammation and unbearable pain of gout.

So, as a gout sufferer, you need to reduce and remove uric acid from your blood in order to get rid of your gout. And you can do this either through drugs, or, through natural remedies.

Drugs such as allopurinol and probenecid can be effective reducers of blood uric acid. But they have to be taken over the longer term as they only work whilst they are being taken. And they have some nasty side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of appetite, skin rash, hives, itching, etc.

So many gout sufferers utilize natural remedies to remove uric acid from their blood in order to get rid of their gout. And there are many such remedies at your disposal; using things like herbs, fruits, diet, etc. Here are 3 popular and effective ones…

(1) Baking Soda.

Baking soda can help to dissolve gout crystals, and, by increasing uric acid solubility, make it easier to remove uric acid from your body.

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a large glass of water. Drink 1 glass first thing in the morning, 2 to 4 glasses during the day, and, 1 glass before bedtime. No more than 8 glasses (4 teaspoons) per day. Repeat until your symptoms have gone.

Important Note: Baking soda is high in sodium so move to a low-sodium or salt-free diet whilst taking this remedy. Also, if you suffer from high blood pressure, or you suspect you may, talk to your doctor before using this remedy.

(2) Cherries

Cherries have excellent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as the ability to reduce uric acid in the blood. So they are also an excellent natural home treatment choice.

Eat between 30 and 40 cherries, every 4 hours during a gout attack. After an attack, to keep your uric acid at healthier lower levels, eat 30 to 40 cherries every day.

(3) Alfalfa

Alfalfa has been shown to dramatically reduce uric acid in blood. The leaves can be made into a tea or you can get it as a supplement in the form of tablets, capsules or liquid extracts. You are best to visit a herbalist and / or a good health food shop. They will advise on dosage.

Next, having removed, or rather, reduced your high uric acid and eliminated your current gout attack, you now need to prevent more attacks. In case you weren’t aware, frequently recurring gout attacks can lead to permanently damaged joints and kidney problems over time.

And if you’ve suffered one gout attack you’re now more likely to suffer more. So you need to figure out what you need to do to prevent these. You need to become aware of the impact that lifestyle, diet, your weight, your family history, etc., can have in your getting gout, and, in curing it.

You’re in luck though. There’s a special gout report available online [see below] that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.

And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.

If you want to get gout pain relief in 2 hours, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com and discover how you can quickly do both without expensive drugs with their horrible side effects.

Answer by Anton
You wake up in the middle of the night, and your big toe feels as if it’s on fire. It’s hot, swollen and so tender that even the weight of a sheet on it seems intolerable. These problems could indicate an acute attack of gout — or gouty arthritis — a form of arthritis that’s characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness and tenderness in joints.

Gout is a complex disorder that can affect anyone. Men are more likely to get gout than women are, but women become increasingly susceptible to gout after menopause.

Fortunately, gout is treatable, and there are ways to reduce the risk that gout will recur.

Question by peterfairley: Gout. Is it possible to have a gout problem without having a high level of uric acid in your blood?
and is that common or rare?

Best answer:

Answer by ¸.•*´`*? ?Melissa? ?*´`*•.¸
Gout is VERY common. And no, uric acid must be present because those crystals that are built up around the joint are caused by elevated levels of uric acid. Gout hurts like hell. I am a 28 year old healthy female. Other than thyroid disorder and HBP no underlying health issues. I had gout about a month ago in my left toe. It is really painful. You will be given Prednisone (if that doesn’t work, you’d start another round of steroids but it’d be a different medication) and usually some pain medication. Cheese, milk, foods high in fat, certain veggies can cause gout. It’s not very common though in young people unless you have something else wrong with you. Have you had blood work done? What were the results?
