Gout and Leukemia?I am experiencing gout for the first time. Was in the ER last night the pain was so bad. Labwork was done, I was told the Uric Acid was high but still within the normal range, but because it was high I was still DX with Gout. I asked for my labs but was told I couldn't have them, my PCP would have to request them.. I am doing a follow-up with him tomorrow. I have read about a connection between Gout and CLL. I have none of the triggers for Gout, don't drink Beer, have occasional glass of red wine with dinner, not a meat eater or fried food fan. The ER DR. was evasive when I asked about the cause of my Gout, "just f/u with your PCP"
Has anyone out there heard of the connection between Gout and CLL? Thanks
Re: Gout and Leukemia?My father is in the hospital with CLL, he got really sick and needed blood transfusions, they also said he has gout. He was never a drinker, we don't know how or why he got CLL or gout but he has them both. Best Wishes
Re: Gout and Leukemia?Thanks for your reply, I am getting more bloodwork done the ER DR. didn't do anything but Uric Adic! Best wishes to you and your father, it sounds like CLL is manageable when detected.

Re: Gout and Leukemia?I never thought about it but I am getting gout and it is deforming the first knuckles on my pointer and middle fingers of both hands, no pain at all. Will ask my doc when I go to him next week.
