• Some types of Cancer due to increase in the amount of uric acid in the body
• Enzyme disorders due to increase in the amount of uric acid in the body
What is Gout?
Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden, severe joint pain
The blood test will find out how much of a chemical called uric acid there is in your blood.
Having too much uric acid in your blood can lead to crystals forming around your joints, which causes pain.
Attacks of gout are usually treated with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) like ibuprofen.
How can you reduce further attacks of gout?
Gout can come back every few months or it may be years. It can come back more often if it’s not treated.
If you have frequent attacks or high levels of uric acid in your blood, you may need to take uric acid-lowering medicine.
Making lifestyle changes may mean you can stop or reduce further attacks.
DO
get to a healthy weight, but avoid crash diets – try the NHS weight loss plan
eat a healthy, balanced diet – your doctor may give you a list of foods to include or limit
have some alcohol-free days each week
drink plenty of fluids to avoid getting dehydrated

DON’T
do not eat offal, such as kidneys or liver, or seafood
do not have lots of sugary drinks and snacks
do not eat lots of fatty foods

You might get an attack if you:
- have an illness that causes a high temperature
- drink too much alcohol or eat a very large, fatty meal
- get dehydrated
- injure a joint
- take certain medicines
Get treatment immediately if you feel an attack starting.
Gout sometimes runs in families.
It’s more common in men, especially as they get older.
