What are the effects of a gout attack? What are the complications of gout?

Gout is not new to us, it is a relatively common disease, and suffering from gout can easily lead to physical health.

Great injury, but also easy to lead to pain and swelling of the joints, need to be carried out in time, in the same way.

You also need to pay more attention to your diet, exercise properly, and pay more attention to rest.

What are the consequences of gout?

The consequences of gout are roughly as follows: First, the long-term reversal of gout. Tophi will form, resulting in joint deformation, and even severe cases have to amputate due to too many tophi, which seriously affects the quality of life.

Second, gout can also form kidney stones due to the continuous deposition of uric acid, which will cause serious harm and unbearable pain to patients. Third, gouty arthritis is unbearable pain during the attack, and uric acid will still increase during the recovery period, resulting in certain impairments in kidney function, resulting in an increase in creatinine and eventually forming gouty nephropathy, which will lead to kidney failure and eventually death. Fourth, gout will also affect the cardiovascular system, resulting in myocardial infarction and even death in severe cases of cardiovascular system lesions.

What are the symptoms of a gout attack?

The main symptom of gout is joint pain, which is characterized by acute local redness, swelling, and heat in the joints. Including the first metatarsophalangeal joint, ankle joint, knee joint, interphalangeal joint, wrist joint, elbow joint, and in severe cases, the head and ears can be affected. Secondly, gout can affect the kidneys, and often manifests as increased nocturia in the early stage, and prolonged illness can further cause hematuria or edema, including swelling of the lower limbs and eyes.

In addition, gout affects blood vessels and causes arteriosclerosis, which can lead to diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease.

How is gout**?

The ** of gout is a simple but complex problem, and its application of drugs is very simple, that is, the use of anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs in the acute phase, and the use of uric acid-lowering drugs in the intermittent and chronic phases. However, if you want to better control gout, patients need to adjust their lifestyle, reasonable diet, appropriate exercise, and weight control on the basis of the use of drugs, and patients need to strictly prohibit all kinds of alcoholic beverages, and avoid cold, infection, fatigue and other factors that may induce gout attacks. Only under these comprehensive means can patients with gout get a better prognosis and outcome, if not actively ** gout, it will become chronic gout, form chronic gouty arthritis, tophi, gout kidney and gout kidney stones will seriously affect the quality of life of patients.

It will affect your body, it will make your body very painful, the joints will be red and swollen, the joints will be very painful, and the attack of gout is very uncomfortable, so you must pay attention to keeping warm.

It will produce severe pain, there is no way to walk, and the joints cannot bend normally, which affects the operation of the body and affects the body's endocrine.

In this way, it will affect physical fitness, affect a person's memory, cause numbness in the limbs, and also lead to joint bone destruction, as well as organ damage, and there will also be high uric acid.

Common complications of gout include high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and high blood sugar. In severe cases, it can lead to gout stones, kidney failure, uremia, etc.

If gout is well controlled in the early stage, it is recommended to have serious complications as soon as possible.

High blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, tophi, gout, kidney, etc.

Gout is a group of diseases caused by long-term purine metabolism disorders and elevated blood uric acid leading to tissue damage. The clinical features are: hyperuricemia, recurrent acute arthritis, tophi formation, chronic arthritis and joint deformities, as well as uric acid stones and gouty renal parenchymal lesions late in the course of the disease.

You can try our Yunnan kidney tea, its main ingredient is cat's whisker grass from Xishuangbanna, and the effect is very good.

The cause of idiopathic gout attacks is not yet known.

1.Primary gout:

1) Genetic causes: enzyme and metabolic defects, such as increased activity of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase, can produce excessive uric acid, which may lead to gout attacks and have a familial predisposition.

2) Environmental reasons: If the living and working environment is low, it may cause the body to suddenly get cold, which may induce gout. In some plateaus and coastal areas, the incidence of gout may be higher due to dietary habits and lifestyle habits (e.g., people in coastal areas eat seafood more frequently).

2.Secondary gout:

1) Other causes of diseases: polycythemia, hemolytic anemia and other hematologic diseases, which cause a large number of intracellular nucleic acids to decompose, resulting in excessive production of uric acid, which may induce secondary gout.

2) Drug causes: Taking certain drugs, such as diuretics (such as furosemide, etc.), immunosuppressants (tacrolimus, etc.), can cause increased reabsorption of uric acid through the renal tubules, reduce the excretion of uric acid, and may lead to secondary gout.

3.Idiopathic gout:

Seizures** are unknown.

If there is gout in relatives, it is recommended to have regular physical examinations and pay attention to indicators such as blood uric acid. If you have symptoms such as joint redness and swelling, severe joint pain, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention in time, be clear, and follow the doctor's instructions to avoid delaying the condition.

Gout**1, damp heat turbidity, retained joints:

Damp heat turbidity poison, rooted in the spleen and stomach, stagnate in the meridians, close the meridians, flow into the joints, if the love of righteousness and evil, the damp poison does not go, follow the meridians, attach to the joints, form a phlegm nucleus, hard as a stone. Therefore, damp heat turbidity is the main reason for the formation of tophi.

2. The body is yang, and the viscera contains poison

The accumulation of heat in the viscera is a prerequisite for the formation of poisonous evil to attack the jointsThe study and education network collects and sorts out that heat depression is the root cause of this disease.

3. Invasion of external evils:

External evil stagnates muscles and joints and causes poor qi and blood, blocked meridians, and pain if it is not passed, and for a long time, it can lead to loss of qi and blood, blood heat and stasis, blockage of the meridians, and cause joint swelling, deformity and stiffness.

4. Spleen deficiency is the foundation, and dampness is the standard

Spleen deficiency and unhealthy diet damage the spleen and stomach, imbalance of transport, resulting in dampness and turbidity, external injection of skin and flesh joints, internal internal organs, and the onset of this disease.

Secondary hyperuricemia and gout are usually secondary to other disorders, such as renal insufficiency, chronic kidney disease, and the use of medications, including diuretics, antihypertensives, or chemotherapy drugs. The triggers that lead to acute gout attacks mainly include excessive consumption of high-purine foods, heavy alcohol consumption, local trauma, infection, surgery, and even emotional agitation.

This glass of water is like our blood, and this spoonful of salt is equivalent to uric acid in our body. At first, uric acid can still be dissolved, but if the concentration increases, the blood has reached saturation and can no longer be dissolved, then uric acid will be deposited to form urate crystals. Urate crystals are then deposited on our joints along our blood flow, leading to our arthritis.

If it is deposited in the kidneys, then it may lead to damage to kidney function, and if uric acid is not controlled, if the crystals are not dissolved, it will soon develop into tophi.

A list of foods to avoid in gout.

Zeng Xiaofeng, Chief Physician, Department of Rheumatology and Immunology.

Beijing****.

People with gout should avoid high-purine foods and limit their intake of fructose and alcohol.

1.High-purine foods: High-purine foods can metabolize foods that produce a large amount of uric acid, which aggravates the patient's condition, so they should be avoided. Such foods include organ meats, pork, beef and mutton, shellfish, anchovies, salmon, tuna, etc.

2.High-fructose foods: High-fructose foods can inhibit the excretion of uric acid, so they should be limited, including particularly sweet drinks, apples, bananas, watermelon, etc.

3.Alcohol: Substances that inhibit uric acid excretion can also be produced during alcohol metabolism, so people with gout should drink as little alcohol as possible.

Gout is a condition in which uric acid crystals form and are deposited in the joints due to high levels of uric acid in the blood. At present, it is unknown, and it is mostly manifested as joint pain, redness and swelling, and the condition can lead to joint deformity. Patients with gout can eat more low-purine foods such as fruits and vegetables, potatoes, rice, goat's milk, etc., and drink more water; You should also get regular rest and exercise, maintain your weight, and don't smoke.

There are many factors that cause gout, the most prominent of which are living in a hot and humid environment for a long time, eating too much seafood, and so on.

1.Kidney stones: The probability of kidney stones in gout patients is about 1,000 times that of normal people, because the more uric acid in the urine and the more acidic the pH, the more likely it is to cause stones, so gout patients should boil more water or take baking soda to prevent the appearance of kidney stones.

Ischemic heart disease: If gout is not timely**, persistent hyperuricemia or excessive urate crystals deposited in the coronary arteries, coupled with hyperagglutination of platelets, will accelerate the progression of arteriosclerosis, resulting in ischemic heart disease.

3.Renal dysfunction: If you have gout, if you don't have it in time, the patient will have long-term hyperuricemia, which will easily cause excessive urate crystals to precipitate in the kidneys, thereby causing gouty nephropathy or more serious renal dysfunction.

4.High blood pressure: About half of people with gout have comorbid hypertension.

5.Hyperlipidemia: Because patients with this disease often overeat and have obesity, it is easy to be complicated by hyperlipidemia, which is also related to the occurrence of arteriosclerosis.

6.Diabetes: Diabetes mellitus is caused by low insulin sensitivity caused by obesity and overeating, so gout patients should pay attention to early control of diet and weight, so that insulin sensitivity can gradually recover.

First, it can cause joint lesions, resulting in chronic gouty arthritis, the inflammatory response of the joints persists, and the swelling and pain of the joints persists, and after a long time, it will cause local joint deformation, and there are multiple tophi deposits around the joints. Second, the most common gouty nephropathy can lead to the deposition of urate crystals in the kidneys, causing urinary tract stones, and severe patients will develop renal insufficiency, renal failure, and uremia. Third, hyperuricemia and hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia are synergistic and mutually reinforcing.

Therefore, if gout is not timely**, it will also cause a significant increase in the incidence of the above diseases.

It can damage various organs of the body.

Hazard 1: Gout is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and is closely related to the occurrence of coronary heart disease.

Hazard 2: Gout also has a certain amount of damage to the joints, if the long-term control is not good, it is very likely to destroy the joints, and long-term repeated destruction can lead to joint deformity.

Hazard 3: Gout may also damage the kidneys, and severe cases can affect kidney function.

Hazard 4: Gout may also form stones in the urinary tract, causing renal colic.

Hello, for patients with gout, it may make the joints red, swollen, hot and painful, and even deformed joints at the onset of the disease, and if there is gouty nephropathy, the patient may have hematuria, proteinuria.

Ventilation attacks, if not taken seriously, are likely to cause life-threatening situations, this needs to be known.
