Gout: Symptoms, Treatment, and Preparing a Gout Diet Menu

Gout, being a disease caused by an  Medipure Hemp Cbd Review  Medipure Hemp Cbd Review excess of uric acid in the body, requires a special gout diet menu to minimize symptoms while the patient is undergoing treatment. The crystallization of uric acid causes characteristic gout symptoms: arthritis, caused by the hardening of crystals in the joints, then eventual inflammation, then difficulty in moving those joints; fatigue accompanying joint pain; high fever, caused by inflammation that triggers an immune response that involves pyrogens (fever-inducing chemicals); and formation of kidney stones.

Joint damage caused by gout affects the big toe most frequently - it is believed that more than half of gout cases involve the big toe. Pain involving the big toe is often described as the big toe being "on fire": at night, the big toe becomes inflamed, swells, and becomes too tender such that even the weight of a bed sheet becomes unbearable.

Gout has been known to be linked with the metabolism of purine. The end product of purine metabolism is uric acid, and a deficit in uricase, the enzyme that breaks down uric acid, has made the condition widespread. However, how uric acid crystallizes is not well documented. This crystallization is attributed to many precipitating factors like: acidosis, conducive to the accumulation of uric acid; proteins in the extracellular matrix like chondroitin sulfate, proteoglycan; and cool temperatures, whose role in acid crystallization is not so defined, but which seems to explain why gout affects the lower joints of the body (like toes and knees) more than upper joints.
