Why gout can cause kidney disease

Gout can cause kidney disease mainly because gout patients form gout stones after the increase of blood uric acid, which can then be deposited in the glomerulus, renal tubules, interstitial kidney and joints. If gout is not treated, the gout stones will all be blocked in the renal tubules and interstitium, and proteinuria will occur, or kidney function will be impaired, which will then further cause deterioration of kidney function, so hyperuricemia and gout need to be treated. When a physical examination is performed and high blood uric acid is found, appropriate dietary intervention and pharmacological intervention are needed.
