Publisher Description
What is gout...it is a form of arthritis. It is caused because the body either makes too much uric acid or it cannot excrete it from the body in large enough quantities. Uric acid is a by product of purines being broken down by the body's digestive and waste system , which in turn breaks down and builds up body and food tissues through food intake. Generally the uric acid is dissolved in the blood and also flushed out through the kidneys. The uric deposits then move to the extremities of the body causing an inflammatory reaction in and around the tendon areas. This inflammatory reaction is due to the body producing white blood cells to combat the uric acid intruder. When this happens the inflamed area also produces heat. The uric acid appears in the form of needle like crystals which tear into the synovial sacks and cartilage between joints.
