The basic filtering of unwanted materials from the blood is done by the kidneys.
Uric acid is formed in the body as a result of eating foods with purines. purine-rich foods such as meats, can cause gout by causing the overproduction of uric acid by the body, or in some cases if the kidneys are not able to eliminate excess uric acid. When uric acid reaches a certain level in the blood it precipitates out in the form of monosodium urate crystals. In gout, these crystals are deposited in and around connective tissue, causing inflammation and excruciating pain.
High levels of uric acid in the blood is called (hyperuricemia), however this does not necessarily develop gout. the majority of people with hyperuricemia do not develop gout. It seems that it is not necessarily the high level of uric acid that causes gout but possibly a rapid change in its level. Gout attacks are more likely with, dehydration, injury, fever, heavy eating, heavy drinking of alcohol, and recent surgery.
recent surgery
Other factors may include: obesity, weight gain, high blood pressure, abnormal kidney function, some medications.

Yes, soy products can cause high uric acid concentrations in blood. This is because soy products contain protein which contain nitrogen.

So, more soy products comsumption means more uric acid formation.
