Drug-induced gout - what does this mean
Drug-induced gout occurs when medications, such as diuretics, interfere with the body's ability to process uric acid, leading to a buildup of uric acid in the blood. this buildup of uric acid can cause painful inflammation in the joints, resulting in gout.
What happens during the disease - drug-induced gout
Drug-induced gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the body due to the disruption of normal uric acid metabolism. this is usually caused by medications that interfere with the metabolism of uric acid, such as diuretics and other medications used to treat high blood pressure, as well as certain drugs used to treat cancer and hiv. the accumulation of uric acid leads to the formation of crystals in the joints, which causes inflammation and pain.
