Other secondary gout - what does this mean
Other secondary gout is a type of gout caused by an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, obesity, or chronic renal failure. it is caused by increased production of uric acid in the body, leading to the formation of crystals in the joints, causing inflammation, swelling, and severe pain.
What happens during the disease - other secondary gout
Other secondary gout is a type of gout caused by the buildup of uric acid in the body from an underlying medical condition or medication. this condition is caused by an overproduction of uric acid, or an inability of the body to process and excrete the uric acid. this can be due to kidney disease, metabolic disorders, certain medications, or an unhealthy diet that is high in purines. the accumulation of uric acid in the body leads to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which causes the pain and inflammation associated with gout.
