Can gout be eradicated? Gout is a metabolic and inflammatory disease. Gout is a very harmful disease. With the aggravation of the disease, the joints of patients will be diseased, which will cause great harm to health. So can gout be eradicated?
Can gout be eradicated? 1 gout can be cured, but it can't be cured. Gout is a metabolic disease, and the most commonly involved joint is the first metatarsophalangeal joint. At the same time, gout can also affect the back of the foot, ankles, knees and other joints, which is a chronic disease caused by ingesting a large number of purine foods or purine metabolism disorder in the body.
At present, medical methods still can't cure the disease fundamentally, but through the intervention of drugs and lifestyle, the patient's blood uric acid level can be controlled, so that acute joint swelling will no longer occur. When gout crystals disappear in the body, the disease can be cured clinically.
However, if uric acid rises again, there may be a risk of recurrence, so controlling blood uric acid level is the key means to cure diseases and prevent gout recurrence.
Gout is a group of metabolic syndrome caused by long-term hyperuricemia. The main clinical manifestations of gout include recurrent gouty arthritis and gouty nephropathy. Gout can also have a certain impact on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the blood sugar of gout patients is higher than that of normal people.
Whether gout can be cured, we must first look for the reasons for the increase of blood uric acid. There are clear reasons for the increase of serum uric acid in a few patients, such as taking some drugs to cause the increase of serum uric acid, such as taking diuretics, chemotherapy drugs, taking some anti-tuberculosis drugs and so on. Serum uric acid can be significantly increased after taking it. If it is possible to stop taking drugs or replace them with other drugs, the increase of serum uric acid will naturally ease, and it is considered that the increase of serum uric acid is transient and treatable.
Some patients have elevated blood uric acid due to some other diseases, such as kidney problems or some endocrine diseases. If these diseases are treated well, the increase of blood uric acid can also be alleviated.
Clinically, most patients with hyperuricemia have no clear reason, which may be related to obesity and improper diet. Individuals still have a certain genetic tendency, so patients should be warned to carry out long-term lifestyle intervention, exercise properly, lose weight and control diet. As long as they exercise regularly, lose weight and control their diet, blood uric acid can be maintained at a relatively normal level for a long time, and medication can be used if necessary.
Can gout be eradicated? 2 Symptoms and treatment of gout;
1, intermittent gout: gout in this period, the symptoms are usually high blood uric acid concentration. The so-called intermittent period refers to the interval between two gout attacks, usually several months to a year. If the method of reducing uric acid is not used, the attack will be frequent, the pain will be aggravated and the course of disease will be prolonged.
2. Chronic gout: At this stage of gout, there are usually tophi. At this time, gout frequently occurs, and tophi begins to appear in various parts of the body, and with the extension of time, tophi gradually becomes larger.
3, acute attack gout: the attack time is generally in the middle of the night. The symptoms of gout at this stage are pain, swelling and redness of ankle joints or toes, arms and fingers, accompanied by severe pain. Microscopic observation showed that there was urate precipitation of pine needles in the diseased tissue. It's severe pain caused by urate precipitation. Please note that the serum uric acid in the onset period has precipitated, so the uric acid value is lower than the usual maximum.
Gout disease is a metabolic disease. If the body produces too much uric acid, or the excretion mechanism of uric acid deteriorates, too much uric acid will remain in the body. When the concentration of uric acid in blood is more than 7 mg/dl (465 465,438+0.6 μ mol/L), the body fluid will turn sour, which will affect the normal function of human cells. If you don't pay attention for a long time, it will cause gout. Therefore, uric acid monitoring is very necessary for the prevention and treatment of gout.
For uric acid detection, there are many products on the market, and the accuracy and usage of different products are different. Because gout is a metabolic disease, it will affect the glucose metabolism in the body, so it is best to monitor blood sugar at the same time. Here, we suggest that you use Sannuo Uric Acid Instrument, which can draw blood at one time and detect both blood sugar and uric acid at the same time.
Sannuo Uric Acid Meter collects a drop of fingertip blood for 25 seconds to measure uric acid value, without going to the hospital to queue up for testing. Sannuo uric acid meter and uric acid test paper adopt patented anti-interference enzyme layer design, which effectively avoids the interference of various internal and external sources such as bad blood acid. The blood glucose test paper adopts FAD-GDH technology, which has strong anti-interference ability. High-risk groups with high uric acid, such as obesity, eating meat for a long time, drinking alcohol, family history of gout, etc., patients with diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases also need to monitor uric acid levels.
Can gout be eradicated? 3 gout symptoms and diet?
1, eat more vegetarian food such as vegetables and fruits. When we suffer from gout, we should eat more vegetables and fruits, which can supplement vitamins and neutralize uric acid. Vegetables and fruits are mostly alkaline foods, which can increase the alkali reserve in the body and improve the pH value of body fluids. When the pH value of joint fluid rises above 6, uric acid is mostly in a free state, and rarely forms urate crystals.
Increasing the pH value of urine can prevent the formation and dissolution of uric acid crystals, increase the excretion of uric acid, prevent the formation of stones or dissolve the stones that have been formed. Many vegetables and fruits contain a small amount of potassium, which can promote uric acid excretion from the kidneys and reduce urinary salt deposition.
2. Drink 2000 ~ 3000 ml of water every day. We all know that drinking water can make us go to the toilet often. If we urinate more, our uric acid concentration will drop. Purine-rich drinks are forbidden for gout patients.
Excessive drinking will produce a lot of lactic acid in the body and hinder the excretion of uric acid. Alcohol is a high-energy product, which will generate too much heat energy and increase uric acid production. Therefore, gout patients should try not to drink alcohol. Drinking more water can help patients control gout. Drinking water from Yiyuan herbal tea can increase urine output, promote uric acid excretion and prevent the formation and deposition of urate. It is ideal for gout patients to drink 2000~3000ml of water every day.
3, the combination of regulating diet and medication When we treat gout, we should pay more attention to our diet when using drugs, and don't reduce our medicinal properties.
Many gout patients usually do not need uric acid lowering drugs, and it is very difficult to control uric acid only by diet. This is because hyperuricemia is caused by many factors, and excessive intake of high purine food is only one of the reasons. Strict diet control cannot block other factors that increase uric acid, so it is difficult to keep blood uric acid normal for a long time only by controlling diet.
Matters needing attention
For the treatment of hyperuricemia, the principle of simultaneous treatment of uric acid lowering drugs and diet should be adopted. When blood uric acid drops to normal level, we can eat some fish, shrimp and lean meat in moderation, but it is best not to drink soup, because after a long time of cooking and stewing, quite a lot of purines have entered the soup.
