I believe we are not strangers to gout. Gout brings pain to patients that we cannot experience! The symptoms of gout are joint pain, swelling of the first metatarsal joint, leukocytosis, hyperuricemia, fatigue, joint swelling, and joint deformity. The mere manifestation of the symptoms of gout gives us some chills. But the damage of gout is much more than that. The complications of gout are even more damaging to the human body. The common complications of gout are mainly the following: 1, prone to kidney stones, because the more uric acid in the urine, the more acidic the pH, the more likely to occur stones. 2, femoral head necrosis, gout is often accompanied by a variety of elevated lipoproteins, and elevated lipoproteins can cause fat embolism, and ultimately cause femoral head necrosis. 3, cause diabetes, because gout patients are mostly obese, diet is not regular, very easy to lead to poor insulin induction, which leads to diabetes. 4, gouty nephropathy, gouty nephropathy development is relatively slow, in the process, proteinuria from the initial intermittent gradually turned into real-time. 5, hypertension, gout patients due to long-term symptoms of high uric acid, resulting in a decline in kidney function, which induces renal hypertension. 6, atherosclerosis, gout is an important contributing factor to atherosclerosis. 7, ischemic heart disease, after the deposition of uric acid, it will accumulate more and more in the official cavity, and finally narrow the blood vessels, thus leading to ischemia of the heart. 8, malignant tumor, any organ if a long time after experiencing uric acid blow, some cells are likely to be overwhelmed, and thus forced to accumulate disease, which does not exclude some cells will undergo malignant transformation. Gout has so many hazards, so how to prevent and control to be effective, should be our main concern. To prevent the emergence of gout and reduce gout complications, you need to pay attention to these issues: 1, drink more water, not alcohol, sufficient water is conducive to the discharge of uric acid, it is recommended to drink more than 3000 ml of water daily, but also pay attention to the night hydration. 2, pay attention to weight loss, gout patients should control weight, the total daily calories should be reduced by 10% to 15% compared to normal people, not too much snacking, and not to eat too much at each meal, too full. 3, mainly alkaline food, uric acid is easy to dissolve in alkaline environment, so should eat more vegetables, fruits, nuts, milk and other alkaline food. 4.Limit purine intake, it should be controlled below 150 mg per day. 5.Promote blood circulation, often take hot bath or soak feet with hot water to promote blood circulation and increase uric acid excretion.
