Overview
Risk Factors
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Overweight
- Alcohol abuse- Alcohol intake often causes acute attacks of gout and hereditary factors may contribute to the elevation of uric acid.
- Foods that are rich in purines, such as salmon, sardines, organ meats, asparagus, mushrooms and herring.
- Medications such as hydrochlorothiazide, niacin, aspirin, cyclosporine, pyrazinamide and ethambutol, and some drugs used to treat cancer.
- Family history of gout
- Male, or female after menopause
A seasonal link also may exist, with significantly higher incidence of acute gout attacks occurring in the spring.[1] [2]
Gout also can develop as co-morbidity of other diseases, including polycythaemia, leukaemia, intake of cytotoxics, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, renal disorders, and hemolytic anemia. This form of gout is often called secondary gout. Diuretics (particularly thiazide diuretics) have traditionally been blamed for precipitating attacks of gout, but a Dutch case-control study from 2006 appears to cast doubt on this conclusion.[3]
