This may lead you to the question, \"where do we get uric acid from?\" \u003cbr\u003eA Breakdown of Cells\u003cbr\u003eQuite simply put, uric acid is the breakdown of amino acids. Most of these come from animal proteins, but they are present in other foods and beverages. Not all amino acids turn to uric acid, but aminos that break down into purines turn into uric acid. Some beneficial amino acids are used by our body, and whatever is left over from purine amino acids form uric acid which is excreted by the kidneys. \u003cbr\u003eWhile it may seem complicated, if we are healthy this process is quite normal and natural for our bodies to manage. Certain other factors can affect uric acid levels going up like, cancer. If you are on chemotherapy for cancer you can have excess uric acid because the chemo breaks down aminos in your body forming purines that turn into uric acid.\u003cbr\u003eMost of the time, there are a lot of contributing factors to why uric acid levels rise and cause gout flares. \u003cbr\u003eUnderlying Disease and Medications\u003cbr\u003eIf you have underlying disease that affects your kidneys, you may not be able to clear uric acid from your body. There is also a genetic defect that affects the way you metabolize and get rid of uric acid, but this cause is actually rare and happens early in childhood. \u003cbr\u003eCertain medications may increase your risk of gout. If you take diuretics that help pull fluids from your body, some may cause the uric acid to stay in your body. This is why it is important to let your doctor know if you are at risk if you are being prescribed new medications. \u003cbr\u003eOne very strong cause of gout is, diet. Since purines can cause uric acid levels to rise, a diet high in purines can lead to gout. Between 10% to 15% of our purines come from foods that we eat. Let's take a look at some of the foods that can cause gout. \u003cbr\u003eGout Causing Foods\u003cbr\u003eFoods that can lead to or trigger gout are higher in purines than other foods. While you wouldn't want to cut certain things completely, you may need to talk to your doctor about the safe amounts you can consume to prevent your uric acid levels from getting too high. These foods include:\u003cbr\u003eFoods High in Fat - Remember talking about \"the disease of kings?\" This was one reason that aristocracy was prone to gout in ancient days. They could afford the rich tasting and high fat meals. A high fat diet slows down the excretion of uric acid from the kidneys.","brand":"CreateSpace Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039932334320,"sku":"9781535241519","price":19.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781535241519_p0.jpg?v=1763743748","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781535241519","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
