Gout can be diagnosed by signs and symptoms confirmed by increased uric acid levels in blood.

Factors that increase the uric acid level in  body are:

* Diet

 Eating diet high in meat and seafood and beverages sweetened with fruit sugar increases higher levels of uric acid, which is a risk factor for gout. Alcohol consumption, especially of beer increases the risk of gout.

* Obesity: 

favours the production of more uric acid by producing more stress on kidney which is a great risk factor for gout.

*  Medical conditions: 

 high blood pressure and chronic conditions such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and heart and kidney diseases favour the formation of uric acid.
Some medications:  Like Thiazide diuretics used to treat hypertension  and low-dose aspirin can increase uric acid levels.
* Family history of gout: Can provoke the gout forming tendency.
* Age and sex: Gout occurs more in men than women. But postmenopausal women may affect with gout as like men.
* Recent surgery or trauma.
 Trauma, injuries are precipitating factors for gout.

Tophi can develop in fingers, hands, feet, elbows or Achilles tendons on  backs of ankles.
