Under stove thyroid and any connection to Gout?

[LMSyB]

I’m on new drugs for recently discovered under active thyroid and after reading some other information from the US would like to know if there is a connection between thyroid (underactivity) and gout?

Kidney function is linked to being Hypo and therefore gout .. What drugs are you on ?

I believe there is a connection between the two:

Luckily gout is one thing I have managed to avoid! My dad had it - nasty.

Both hyperthyroid and hypothyroid status were significantly associated with gout and weakly associated with hyperuricaemia. A thyroid function test for gout patients may by warranted.

It certainly was for me. Lost a kidney to cancer whilst on inadequate treatment for loss of thyroid gland followed by gout and carpal tunnel syndrome.

No doctor has ever indicated to me that these are related to hypothyroidism.

Gout is considered a form of arthritis and thyroid disease can probably cause a ton of issues.
