Uric Acid Crystals Audience

I wrote Uric Acid Crystals for anyone who wants to understand uric acid and gout. Because I believe that gout is easier to control when you understand how uric acid causes gout pain. So, in this part of my website, I focus on learning and understanding. But if you prefer practical steps for overcoming gout, I recommend you start with Questions for Gout Sufferers.

Uric Acid Crystals Introduction

Uric acid crystals form when levels in the blood get too high. Then those crystals are what cause gout flares. But there is no set level as each gout sufferer is different. Therefore, I start this section with a look at the factors that affect crystal formation.

Once uric acid crystals have formed in and around joints you are on the road to gout. Yet again, each person is different. So we look at the effects of crystals in your body. Because the typical response to urate crystals is gout pain. Yet there are other more serious effects of gout crystals.

Most importantly, I finish with a look at how you stop, then reverse the uric acid crystal processes that lead to gout pain. Complete with links to related information and how to get personal help.
