Gout is a disease caused by what metabolic disorder

Gout is a metabolic disease caused by disorders of purine metabolism and impaired uric acid excretion. It is mainly caused by genetics, metabolic defects, irregular work and rest, smoking and alcohol consumption, consumption of high purine foods, radiotherapy and some diseases that affect purine metabolism. These causes often lead to an imbalance between the production and excretion of uric acid in the patient’s body, thus triggering gout.1. Symptoms: Patients with gout will show high blood uric acid values after blood uric acid measurements, because these poly-saturated blood uric acid forms micro-crystals that accumulate in the patient’s body, especially in the joints, causing redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints. In addition to this, patients with gout may also have raised yellowish-white bulges in the joints, sometimes accompanied by systemic symptoms such as headache and fever. Although gout is a lifelong disease, with early diagnosis and standardized and effective treatment, most patients can improve their symptoms and resume normal work and life. 2. For patients with more serious symptoms in the acute stage, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin, glucocorticoids such as prednisone and dexamethasone, and colchicine can be applied. If the redundant organism seriously affects the activity, or if the joint is heavily damaged, surgery is feasible to remove the redundant organism and orthopaedic treatment of the damaged joint. In addition, patients with gout should pay extra attention to their diet in daily life, limit the consumption of alcohol and fructose-rich beverages, minimize or avoid high purine foods such as animal offal, seafood, thick gravy, etc.; consume more alkaline foods such as green leafy vegetables, coarse grains and beans, etc., which can effectively delay the aggravation of the disease.
