What Causes Gout?

Who Gets Gout and Why?

What causes joints to swell up, stiffen your movements, and shoot pain through your limbs? In other words, what causes gout?

Gout is generally caused by a high level of uric acid in your blood — a condition known as hyperuricemia.  You can get high levels of uric acid in blood from eating to much refined sugar and simple carbohydrates. This build up of sugar in the blood can be the trigger which leads to a bout of gout.  But it is important to note that not everyone with hyperuricemia will develop gout and not all gout outbreaks are rooted in hyperuricemia. Find out if you are at a risk of developing gout by reading our Gout: Who's at Risk article.
