We might feel nauseated. There is pain while urinating and urinating is increased. There might be blood in your urine. Your urine may smell more and you have fever and chills.

People who have high blood glucose and high pressure of blood People with hypothyroidism can easily suffer from it. People with high intake of proteins. ; Hyperuricemia is diagnosed: Blood and urine samples are tested to measure the creatine levels. It gives you the details of uric acid levels and kidney functions. A blood sample is taken from the hand. Urine samples are taken for 24 hrs. By this doctors can determine the problem. Doctors advised you to take a purines free diet which help doctors to determine: 1) to check whether you are eating high purine diets. 2) your body is making too much uric acid in the body. 3) your body excrete uric acid but maybe not enough. 3) when there is a change of gout, the doctor advised to check the knee by extracting fluid from joints. This is done by a fine needle and sent to the lab to determine the crystal in joints and to what levels it has reached. This tells us everything about gout. ; Treatment Gout is treated with following medication: 1) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids) prevent the inflammation of the gout. Ibuprofen, naproxen are given. 2) colchicine is given to people who don't have relief from nsaid. ; Kidney stones are also tested with all this medication. Conclusions: The hyperuricemia can cause severe problems with diseases like kidney stones and gout. Many people take medication without consulting the doctors. All this can make you suffer all your life so please follow the doctors.
