Diet Chart For Uric Acid

Last Updated: Mar 25, 2024

About

Topic Image

Pain and inflammation occur when too much uric acid crystallises and deposits in the joints, tendons, and surrounding tissues, resulting in an attack of gout. The joint at the base of the big toe is affected in about half of cases. Gout is due to elevated levels of uric acid in the blood. This occurs due to a combination of diet and genetic factors. Symptoms of gout include severe pain, redness and swelling in joints, often the big toe. Attacks can come suddenly, often at night. Patients with chronic gout can use behavioural modification such as diet, exercise and decreased intake of alcohol to help minimise the frequency of attacks. Taking vitamin C and eating a diet high in low fat dairy products may be preventive. Additionally, patients with chronic gout are often put on medication to reduce uric acid levels.
