Weight loss can be beneficial in the treatment of gout. Gout attacks are caused by excess uric acid in the body, which is divided into exogenous and endogenous. There is a correlation between exogenous increase in uric acid and diet, such as drinking alcohol, broth, and eating meat that is too high in purines. In the process of weight loss, you should control your diet. Foods with high calorie content also happen to be foods with high purine content, so the process of weight loss may reduce blood uric acid, and after the blood uric acid has been reduced, the chance of gout attack will also be reduced. However, it is important to note that there is also an endogenous increase in uric acid, which may be caused by impaired uric acid metabolism and abnormal uric acid excretion in the body. This type of increased uric acid may not be able to achieve a satisfactory effect of uric acid reduction through weight loss, but still needs to be treated with uric acid-lowering drugs, and further examination of blood uric acid and 24-hour uric acid levels is needed to clarify the diagnosis.
