DISCUSSION:
Gout, also referred to as metabolic arthritis or acute inflammatory
monoarthritis, is caused by an abnormal build-up of uric acid in the blood -
uric acid being a metabolic by-product of purine metabolism. Purines are
natural substances found in many foods, and particularly in high protein
foods like organ meats and fish like mackerel and sardines. Excessive blood
levels of uric acid then lead to acute inflammation of the joints. 'Classic
Gout' which usually targets the joints of the big toe and other joints
within the legs and feet and can affect people of all ages. However, another
type of gout - called 'Atypical Gout' - can affect any joint in either the
arms or legs and is observed predominantly in the elderly. Both types of
gout are characterized by excruciating pain and swelling. In many typical
cases of gout, patients are overweight, predisposed to Type II diabetes and
hypertension, and are at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Gout is
disproportionately found in societies whose diets include large amounts of
protein, fat and alcohol. Since a fundamental facet of gout is the
metabolism of protein, the areas of kidney, bladder and urinary tract health
are primary targets for treatment. |
