Gout sufferers can go on
develop other conditions, one of the most common is kidney stones. This
article is about gout and kidney stones.

When people
talk about gout, it is commonly associated with swollen and inflamed
joints. However gout can cause other complications, and one of the most
common ones is kidney stones.
Kidney
stones are small rock-like masses. They range in size, sometimes they
are small enough to exit the body through urination, however sometimes
they can be large enough to block the flow of urine. When kidney stones
are present in the body, urinating can be a very painful experience.
There are several reasons for the formation of kidney stones in the
body. But when kidney stones are present in a gout sufferer it is
normally as a result of too much uric acid present in the urine.
People who
sufferer from reoccurring gout attacks have a higher risk of developing
kidney stones than the average person. Middle aged men and the elderly
(both sexes) also have a higher chance of developing kidney stones. This
is because middle aged men and and the elderly are the main gout
sufferers, and they have higher levels of uric acid.
Another
factor that increases the chances of developing kidney stones is the
type of gout an individual suffers from. The two types of gout are
known as primary and secondary gout. An individual suffers from primary
gout when they have high levels of uric acid but the cause is unknown.
An individual suffers from secondary gout when they have high levels of
uric acid as a result of some underlying disorder.
Roughly 10
- 25% of primary gout sufferers will develop kidney stones, whilst 42%
of secondary gout sufferers go on to develop kidney stones.
The
symptoms of kidneys stones can vary from nothing at all to the ones
mentioned below:
Blood in
urine, nausea or vomiting as a result of severe pain.
Extreme
pain in the lower back, groin abdomen or side.
If you
suffer from any of the symptoms that have just been mentioned you
should visit your doctor as soon as possible in order for him or her to
diagnose your condition.
