Chemo and gout

[Shadoz]

is it normal to get gout after taxorere chemo

[tango65]

Cancer cells dying liberate purines which could increase the level of uric acid in the blood.

I wonder if coffee enemas would help with that. My suspicions are that it could.

Are your kidneys working ok? I sometimes get gout because I only have one working kidney, a transplanted one.

[Shadoz]

thank you . Yes my kidneys are fine.

I did not, study of one though.

I do not see it on the list of side affects - mayoclinic.org/drugs-supple...

Here's a link to the causes and risk factors - mayoclinic.org/diseases-con...

I had two rounds of gout immediately following EBRT. I thought maybe stress might have contributed. My Rad Oncologist wouldn't admit to any association. tango65 has a suggestion that makes sense too.

You sure it’s gout. I would suspect edema or fluid build up on your feet or other extremities.
