Gout Arthritis

Gout arthritis is a clinical syndrome that caused by tissue inflammatory reaction to the formation of monosodium uric crystals monohydrate. Gout is metabolic disorders with kinetic disorder of uric acid, which causes increased levels of uric acid in the blood.

Initially uric acid does not cause interference with the body,

but the formation of monosodium uric monohydrate crystals which often cause pain.

Gout is following with

Arthritis (inflammation): Joints pain symtoms, swelling, redness, heat and movement disorders in the joints.

TOFI (accumulation of uric acid which is surrounded onsinoval inflammation, cartilage, bursa and soft tissue). TOFI often formed in the ears (because of the wide surface and thin and easily blown by the wind sothat the uric crystals easy precipitate out and become TOFI), elbow, knee, in step, heel, base of inside thumb (typical area which is often under attack) .

Kidney stones : In further stages of gout can cause kidney damage and lead to swelling of kidney stones.

Cause of body uric acid increase :

1. Increased excessive uric acid include:

Gout primary metabolic is caused by uric acid synthesis increased immediately.

Gout secondary metabolic is caused by formation of excess uric acid because of other diseases such as leukemia (especially when it gotsitostatika therapy).

2. Uric acid decreased expenses through the kidneys include:

Gout primary renal caused by uric acid disorder at the expense of the distal tubule of healthy kidneys.

Gout secondary renal damage caused by the kidney such as renal failure.

3. Increased intake of foods rich in purines (the compoundsthat altered the uric acid in the body) such as meat (duck, pigeon), seafood(oysters, crab, shrimp), nuts (cashew, blinjo), spinach, cauliflower, greenbeans, kale , mustard greens, asparagus, durian, canned food, alcoholic beverages (prevent the release of purines through the kidneys).

Uric acid handling :

• Stop the inflammatory process
• Reducing uric acid synthesis
• Strengthening uric acid excretion through the kidneys
