Gout symptoms

The most important points to remember when dealing with gout symptoms. Now kidney stones have a large buildup of uric acid and gout is by large a symptom present in men. The male female ratio is 10 to 1.

The fundamental cause of gout is uric acid, but this does not mean that people with elevated levels of uric acid will always have gout. There are actually other causes of gout which are extremely rare, but worth mentioning. The list of possible secondary causes is so vague that I'm not going to list it here.

Last but not least, it is interesting to mention that there are two different conditions of gout, one includes inflammation and the other is non-inflammatory. So it may be possible to have extreme pain in the toe without having inflammation.
