Young patients with gout usually have no effect on life expectancy after active and effective treatment, but there are certain individual differences that cannot be generalized. Gout is caused by abnormal purine metabolism resulting in increased uric acid, and patients often experience recurrent episodes of joint redness, swelling and pain, mostly in men. The disease cannot be cured, so patients should take effective treatment measures to control the symptoms after the onset of the disease, and carry out uric acid lowering treatment to maintain the uric acid level in the ideal state, so as to maintain the normal work and life of patients, and usually the survival time is not significantly abnormal with the normal population. However, if the treatment is not timely, in addition to leading to joint damage to reduce the quality of life, high uric acid is also easy to complicate kidney disease, serious cases can induce kidney failure, shortening the survival time of patients. Therefore, gout patients should try to reduce the intake of purine-rich foods, such as animal offal, seafood and various kinds of alcohol in their daily lives. In addition, they should drink more water to promote the discharge of uric acid salts.
