These increased levels of uric acid lead to gout, but not right away. Usually, uric acid levels are raised, for a period of 20 to 30 years before they cause any problem. And that is why gout usually occurs in middle-aged and older people.
Thanks to the kidneys, uric acid is usually filtered and excreted through the urine.
So, when kidneys don’t work properly the high levels of uric acid turn to urate crystals and accumulate in the joints, causing inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack.
