As sleep apnea reduces oxygen and increases carbon dioxide in the blood, this can lead to rapid cell death which raises uric acid. Increased uric acid (hyperuricemia) often leads to gout.
For many gout sufferers, curing sleep apnea also cures gout, but if it doesn't, you can discuss gout and sleep apnea at Gout Pal Interactive.
