What are the comorbidities of gout?

  Diabetes】 Both diabetes and gout are diseases caused by abnormal metabolism in the body and can easily complicate in patients. Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin hormone, which regulates blood sugar, resulting in a constant state of high blood sugar in the body; and there is a strong correlation between uric acid and blood sugar.     Most gout patients are obese, and the accumulation of excessive fat in the body can easily cause arteriosclerosis and high blood pressure; and because gout patients tend to consume high-fat, high-calorie foods in their daily diets, the neutral fat content in their bodies is quite high, and their cholesterol values are usually higher than normal, making them one of the groups most prone to hyperlipidemia.  Myocardial infarction/stenosis] Gout patients are prone to atherosclerosis of the heart vessels, resulting in insufficient blood flow to the heart and poor blood circulation, causing a particularly high chance of stenosis or myocardial infarction, especially in gout patients who are already suffering from hyperlipidemia.  Cerebrovascular disorders] are also caused by atherosclerosis, but the difference is that they occur in the brain. The symptoms include headache, dizziness, numbness or paralysis of the hands and feet, etc. In serious cases, patients are at risk of losing consciousness or even death.
