In general, gout cannot be completely cured, except for some patients with secondary gout who can eradicate hyperuricemia and gout after removing the cause of the disease. However, even if the disease cannot be cured, most patients can be considered “clinically cured” after systematic and standardized treatment with no acute gout attack and low blood uric acid level for a long time. Gout is an acute and chronic inflammation and tissue damage caused by the deposition of uric acid in the bones and joints, kidneys and subcutaneous areas. It is now known that hyperuricemia is the basis of gout, and the treatment drugs are well-targeted and can effectively control the development of the disease. Patients with acute attacks should be promptly and adequately treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, colchicine and glucocorticoids to rapidly relieve symptoms. Intermittent periods require the use of uric acid production inhibitors or uric acid excretory drugs to control blood uric acid levels. It should be emphasized that the adjustment of patients’ lifestyle and diet is the basis of long-term treatment of gout. Patients with gout can improve their ability to metabolize uric acid by adhering to a low purine diet, drinking more water and doing appropriate physical exercise. The blood uric acid level is low. A low purine diet, appropriate water intake and exercise are powerful weapons for gout patients to control their disease. Most of the gout patients can stay in a stable state for a long time without acute gout attacks by adhering to a low purine diet, drinking more water and exercising after systematic and standardized treatment. In conclusion, gout patients should seek medical consultation in time after the onset of the disease, and carry out systematic and standardized treatment based on adherence to lifestyle interventions, and most patients can maintain a stable state for a long time, which is also called a “cured” state.
