Gout is a metabolic rheumatism and a common disease in rheumatology, mainly seen in middle-aged and elderly men and a few postmenopausal women. However, in recent years, the incidence of gout has tended to be younger. Gout is a disease caused by a disorder of purine metabolism that leads to high concentrations of uric acid in the blood, often with a family history of genetic predisposition and in those with a superior diet. It is caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint cavity, resulting in arthritis. In addition, it can also involve the kidneys and cause nephropathy. Patients are often obese and can be associated with hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Usually, gout is a disease that cannot be cured, so it is important to adhere to lifelong treatment and improve poor lifestyle and dietary habits.
