During the process of the body breaking down purines from certain beverages and foods, our bodies can create uric acid in the blood. These purines (amino acids) can be produced by either ingesting purine-rich foods (i.e. beer & red meats), or simply just produced by the body itself.

High uric acid can develop if the body has a hard time removing enough of it, or if the body simply produces too much. Most individuals who notice symptoms are more likely to have a hard time excreting enough uric acid, and do not normally produce more than the typical amount of uric acid.

The kidney is responsible for approximately one-third of uric acid excretion, with the gut responsible for the rest. Many people with high levels of uric acid have defects in the kidneys that are genetically determined.

Men between the ages of 40 and 50 are most likely to develop symptoms of high uric acid levels.

There is some evidence that symptoms are genetically predisposed.

Many people with symptoms have a family history.

High uric acid levels are accompanied many times with excruciating pain. The pain lessens over time, but can still affect your life. Once symptoms have started, your life is basically on hold until you can control the pain. Symptoms are most common in the larger joints. Over time, symptoms can be more severe, last longer, and occur more often.

Symptoms usually begin by affecting a single area. Larger joints are most commonly affected first. Other areas of the body that are readily affected are the instep, ankle, knee, wrist, and elbow. In rare instances the hip, spine, and shoulder are involved.

The pain associated with high levels of uric acid becomes progressively more severe, usually over a few hours, and is often excruciating. Swelling, warmth, redness, and exquisite tenderness may suggest infection. The overlying skin may become tense, warm, shiny, and red or purplish. Fever, tachycardia, chills, and malaise sometimes occur.
