Gout is the result of having too much uric acid in the blood stream. Normally the kidneys can cope with uric acid and removes it along with other impurity's in urine. Uric acid is metabolized when purines that come with all living cells pass through the body. when to much uric acid is produced to be effectively eliminated it reaches a point where it starts to form tiny sharp crystals which are usualy first noticed in joints of the extremitys like the big toe, but will also deposit in the ear lobes and other cooler parts of the body.
