What are the common misconceptions in the treatment of hyperuricemia?

  1, vegetarian diet will be able to reduce blood uric acid to normal Because many patients feel that meat, animal organs and seafood purine content is high, so some patients simply changed to a vegetarian diet, or even a day on a staple food and raw vegetables, thinking that this blood uric acid will not be high! In fact, this approach is very unscientific. A moderate diet can certainly significantly reduce blood uric acid levels and reduce gout attacks. However, we need various nutrients every day, and high blood uric acid should also be met by a variety of vegetables and fruits, eggs and milk to meet the body’s needs of various nutrients. In fact, the purine content of fish and meat varies, so you can choose low purine content for moderate intake when there is no gout attack; while vegetarian foods such as asparagus, cauliflower, string beans, green beans, peas, spinach, mushrooms, tofu have relatively high purine content, so you should try not to eat or eat less; on the other hand, through a low purine diet, the lowered blood uric acid is limited, only about 60umol/L, for those On the other hand, the reduction of blood uric acid through low purine diet is limited, only about 60umol/L. For those who have high level of blood uric acid for a long time, diet control is not enough.  2, starvation diet can improve hyperuricemia and obesity-related diseases hyperuricemia often coexists with diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, 50% of obese patients have hyperuricemia, so weight loss will bring many positive effects, such as lowering sugar, improving insulin resistance, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood uric acid, etc. to some extent, but weight loss is important through a scientifically balanced diet, a balanced diet and a balanced diet. It is important to go through a scientific balanced diet, balanced nutrition, reasonable exercise therapy, rely on “no lunch” or “no breakfast” and other methods to lose weight is not reasonable. In addition, prolonged hunger will promote the body fat, protein decomposition, the resulting ketone body is prone to trigger the onset of gout.  3, gout is nothing remarkable, joint pain, just take some painkillers Gout pathological changes are gouty arthritis, gout stones and gouty nephropathy, gouty bone lesions, etc.. During the acute arthritis phase, sudden onset of severe pain in the unilateral bunion and 1st metatarsal phalangeal joint at midnight or early morning is the most common and the main reason for patients to visit the clinic. Pain in the ankle, knee, wrist, finger, and elbow joints may also be present. In the chronic arthritic phase, swelling and deformity of the joints may occur, thus affecting joint movement. In addition to joint changes, renal pathology manifests itself in three ways: first, gouty nephropathy, which may present with renal insufficiency and uremia in advanced stages. The second is uric acid kidney stone disease, and the third is acute obstructive nephropathy, which can cause acute renal failure and even death.  Therefore, it is very important to control the blood uric acid in the long term, not only to treat the pain during the gout attack.
