Whether 40-year-old patients with gout will affect the life expectancy is not generalized, no important organs and good control of the disease will not affect the life expectancy, but if accompanied by diabetes, cardiovascular disease and renal disease may affect the life expectancy.
Gout is a metabolic disease for which there is currently no effective cure, mostly based on hyperuricemia, but through active lifestyle adjustments and medication, the condition can be well controlled without affecting normal work and life, and will not affect the patient’s life expectancy.
However, if not treated in time can lead to joint deformity, or even disability, can also be complicated by gouty nephropathy, renal insufficiency, etc. affecting the patient’s life, and gout patients with metabolic syndrome, coronary artery atherosclerotic heart disease, etc., if you can’t actively standardize the treatment can affect the life expectancy.
It is recommended that patients diagnosed with gout go to endocrinology, rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation.
