Recurrent gout attacks may be caused by not strictly dietary control, not following the doctor’s instructions to take medication, drugs and other reasons.
1. Failure to strictly carry out dietary control: gout patients in the treatment period, such as not strictly abstain from eating animal offal, shrimp, crabs, shellfish and other high purine content of food, sugary food or drinking alcoholic beverages, may lead to fluctuations in the body’s blood uric acid levels and thus cause gout attack frequency increases.
2. Failure to follow the doctor’s instructions to take medication: gout symptoms after relief, patients should be standardized under the guidance of a physician, the amount of uric acid-lowering drugs to control the level of uric acid in the body, if the patient does not regularly take medication or each time the dose of medication is insufficient, may lead to poor control of blood uric acid caused by an increase in the frequency of gouty attacks.
3. Drugs: gout patients taking diuretics, vitamin B12, azathioprine and other drugs can cause uric acid reabsorption through the renal tubules to increase and lead to uric acid excretion is impeded, thus causing gout attack frequency increases.
Recurrent gout attacks may also be related to other factors, gout recurrent attacks of patients can go to the regular hospital rheumatology and immunology department and other related departments for detailed consultation.
