A Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates your assets to pay off as much of your debt as possible. The cash from your assets is distributed to creditors like banks and credit card companies. Within four months, you will receive a notice of discharge. The record of your bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for ten years.
Gout is a disease resulting from the deposition of urate crystals caused by the overproduction or underexcretion of uric acid. The disease is often, but not always, associated with elevated serum uric acid levels. Clinical manifestations include acute and chronic arthritis, tophi, interstitial renal disease and uric acid nephrolithiasis.
Your doctor will likely prescribe long-term medications as maintenance therapy, to keep uric acid levels steady. Because these drugs cause acid level to shift, you wonât start taking them until your acute attack is under control. (To learn how to manage an acute gout attack, click here).
