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?

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.

Question by Amelia: Why does lead poisoning cause uric acid to build up in the joints, or the disease known as gout?
I can’t find it anywhere. It’s needed for a bio research project…

Best answer:

Answer by Peter S
Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate around your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack. Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood. Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines, substances that are found naturally in your body, as well as in certain foods, such as organ meats, anchovies, herring, asparagus and mushrooms.

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. When this happens, uric acid can build up, forming sharp, needle-like urate crystals in a joint or surrounding tissue that cause pain, inflammation and swelling.

Potassium deficiency results in increased blood urate levels due to the effect of lead on aldosterone.

Last week my friend said he thought of getting arthritis, because his knees were sore. I think it’s about 41 and she is very active (ie, she is always moving, walking, hiking, etc) Now the pain is in the feet, knees and elbows. His hands and feet are so swollen that itch and can not even make a fist. Do you think it is gout (not sure how to spell that). Do not want to take anything for pain because she fears that mask the symptoms and will not be able to describe their pain with the precision of a doctor. I said to take Arnica for gonfiore.E ‘tons of potable water and soda.Io not even know if this is correct, but I told him to lift the arms and legs with cuscini.Lei or someone you know experienced anything like? Is he gone?
