Gout is caused by a buildup of a substance called uric acid in the blood.

If you consume too many foods high in uric acid, or if your kidneys do not filter uric acid efficiently, it can accumulate and form sharp crystals in and around the joints.

Factors that increase your risk of gout include:

• Obesity, high blood pressure, or diabetes
• Sejarah keluarga yang mempunyai gaut
• Kidney problems
• Consuming foods high in uric acid such as red meat, organ meats, and seafood
• Excessive alcohol intake

• Make changes to your diet and lifestyle, such as losing weight, limiting alcohol, and reducing intake of red meat and seafood
• Drink plenty of water, at least 6 to 8 glasses per day
• Maintain an active lifestyle by exercising regularly
