There several drugs used to reduce uric acid. Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors, such as allopurinol work by decreasing the amount of uric acid produced by the body. Allopurinol is usually prescribed for patients who produce excessive amounts of uric acid in their body ("overproducers"). Uricosuric Agents, such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone, work by helping the kidneys get rid of the excess uric acid produced in the body. Uricosuric agents are usually prescribed for patients whose kidneys cannot eliminate uric acid from the body ("underexcreters").
High uric acid levels can be caused by: * Primary hyperuricemia ** Your body increases production of uric acid from purine ** Your kidneys cannot get rid of the uric acid in your blood so the resultinglevels are high* Secondary hyperuricemia ** Certain cancers (or the associated chemotherapy agents)** Kidney disease - this may cause you to not be able excete the uric acid ** Medications - can cause increased levels of uric acid in the blood ** Endocrine or metabolic conditions such as diabetes or acidosis Aside: Elevated uric acid levels may produce:* kidney problems * gout
you could, but it wont get rid of the gout. you're better off focusing on getting rid of the uric acid!
A person that has a problem with too much uric acid should avoid directs as they will make the condition worse. They should drink as much water as possible to help flush out the system.
We humans, use urea to get rid of nitrogenous wastes which is a water-soluble compound. Other animals might use Uric acid, which is not water soluble. It is mainly used to conserve water.Uric acid uses less water to get rid of wastes in an animal. This is because it's physical properties change, it turns into this paste that can bring wastes out of an animal without using as much water. The uric acid is the white part of bird poop.
physicians may prescribe additional drugs that either help the body get rid of uric acid or reduce the amount of uric acid the body produces. These drugs will not relieve gout attacks that already have started, but will help prevent attacks
cristallization of uric acid, is the precipitation of uric acid in a liquid as the maximum solubility is achieved. in human it may happen in joints ( then it will be called Gout) or it can happen in kidneys and in the bladder, which will then lead to bladder stones. the process by which uric acid is metabolized in the human body is very complex. the excretion of uric acid happens only throught the kidneys. if you dont want to have any bladder stones... drink a lot of water and do no eat to much proteins
If you have any sort of procedure that involves the destruction of tissue then the system has to get rid of the dead cells. These cells have purines which in turn creates uric acid. If you are predisposed to developing gout and are close to saturation point of uric acid in the blood then this could tip you over the edge.
Diuretics are not recommended for gout sufferers as these exacerbate the disease. Gout sufferers should drink as much water as possible as this will aid the body in getting rid of unwanted uric acid.and keep the concentration of uric acid down in the blood.
Plenty of fluids - no alcohol, good diet, no shellfish. Yes, Hydrocodone will ease the pain but the cause of the pain remains which is the build up of uric acid crystals - yes crystals - in the joints which is why it is so painful. The Japanese eat a lot of seafood but it is particularly consumption of shellfish mainly which seems to act as a trigger for attacks of gout. Allopurinol is good for suppressing gout in the long term but it should not be used for acute attacks as it causes an initial increase in uric acid production before it stabilises it. Coca cola should make no difference to it as although it is acidic due to carbonic acid it would be neutralised during absorption into the body. Although your body would take on an acid load , it compensates by regulating your body pH by causing you to respire more frequently so getting rid of more CO2 and H2O which are the constituents of carbonic acid - HCO3- and H+
You get rid of a annoying flea mite by hitting it so hard that it starts to cry and cry
The nature of the thing that causes gout is sharp crystals former by uric acid in the blood stream. these find their way into synovial fluid amongcartilage in joints. Moving the joint cause these very sharp crystals to make pain and inflammation. the best way to reduce inflammation with gout is to reduce the amount of uric acid and get a suitable anti inflammatory.
