There are many different types of arthritis, one is gout. Since the types vary, the causes of gout are various as well and some are still heavily discussed today. It is assumed by the physicians that the primary cause for gout lies in the overproduction of uric acid which comes from purine. Too much uric acid can crystallize and cause the pain. Other causes of gout can lie in the genetics as well. Also certain foods can increase the complaints and a diet can help.
