About 10% of cases of gout are due to overproduction of uric acid. When uric acid is overproduced, it is high not only in the blood but in the urine, raising the risk of both gout and kidney stone. Some people overproduce uric acid due to a genetic defect in an enzyme in the purine breakdown pathway which leads to overactivity of this pathway. Since cells contain DNA, and DNA contains purines, anything that increases the breakdown of cells in the body can lead to more uric acid and gout.

Urinalysis is the most simple of urine tests that are used to screen for kidney problems. A simple dipstick can detect the presence of glucose, protein, ketones, or bilirubin in the urine, as well as the acidity or alkalinity of the urine -- all of which are indicators of potential kidney problems. The appearance of the urine is always noted with a urinalysis.

In my career in massage therapy I encountered many colleagues who attempted to recruit me into an MLM, usually to sell supplements. In a 2015 study, “curcumin caused moderate to large reductions in pain” in 17 men with extremely sore leg muscles.67 It also helped some aspects of strength loss.

In addition to pain, symptoms can include a feeling of tightness, hardness, or a “pumped up” sensation in the forearm, cramping, swelling, paraesthesiae of the fingers, weakness, and a feeling of loss of control of the hand . The symptoms are often bilateral and are brought on by exertion and relieved by rest, recurring when the precipitating activity is resumed . When a patient with an episode of CECS presents with these and other wide ranging symptoms, they can be—as in our patient—a red herring that distracts healthcare providers from determining the diagnosis in a timely fashion .

It is a balancing act, however, because too much or too little can worsen his condition. Food & Drug Administration does not perform the same stringent review and approval process as they do pharmaceuticals. They evaluate dietary supplements for safety after they are already on the market.

Most often gout affects the big toe joint, but it can also occur in the hands, feet, wrists, ankles, knees, and elbows. Gout is an inflammatory disease where uric acid precipitates into crystals that deposit in various joints around the body, causing pain and inflammation. This video describes the pathophysiology, causes, symptoms, and treatment of gout. A study that appeared in a 1992 issue of the “Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases” showed a positive correlation between increased uric acid levels and creatine levels in men with and without gout 3. Researchers suggest that high creatine levels may be to blame for high uric acid levels and gout.

It can affect all kinds of joints, yet it mostly affects your feet and especially the big toe. However, the good news is gout is a form of arthritis that can be treated and kept under control – yet, it can also come back if you fail to pay attention to it.

Patients may have monoarticular or oligoarticular presentations with hot, tender joints.

Is creatine worth using?

Surveys indicate that 17-74% of athletes of various ages in a variety of sports use creatine supplements. Creatine supplementation has been shown to improve performance of brief (<30 s) high-intensity exercise, but there is limited evidence that it can enhance performance during exercise lasting longer than about 90 s.

This connection is less established, but there is evidence that gout can lead to kidney disease. The belief that gout leads to kidney disease is common among many doctors who specialize in the disease. Most people with early stage kidney disease do not know they have it.
