Some gout patients are able to bring down uric acid by controlling their diet without medication, while some patients may not be able to achieve therapeutic results by controlling their diet alone. Gout is a disease in which high blood uric acid causes an inflammatory response to urate deposition in the joints and surrounding soft tissues. For patients with chronic gout, the goal of treatment is to keep blood uric acid below 6 mg/dl. For patients with gout stones and chronic arthritis, the goal of treatment is to keep blood uric acid between 3mg/dl and 5mgdl. Causes of high uric acid include increased uric acid production and decreased uric acid excretion. Some patients with increased uric acid production can reduce uric acid production by controlling their diet, which can achieve the goal of lowering uric acid. Some patients with decreased excretion of uric acid can have their blood uric acid lowered by simply controlling their diet, but it is generally difficult to achieve the clinical goals of treatment, and they still need to be treated with uric acid-lowering medications (e.g., phenylbromarone, etc.). Gout patients are advised to seek medical treatment in a timely manner, under the guidance of a professional doctor to choose a reasonable treatment plan, drugs need to be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.
