The prognosis of gout patients is generally optimistic. As long as there is no obvious damage to kidney function, no serious complications, no obvious joint destruction and deformity, gout patients can live a normal life and their prognosis is very good. Even if there are multiple subcutaneous gout stones, as long as the disease does not progress, there is no significant adverse effect on the prognosis. However, the prognosis is not good if the following conditions are present and need to be taken into account: 1. The effect of treatment with uric acid-lowering drugs is not satisfactory or the use of uric acid-lowering drugs is not possible due to adverse reactions, and hyperuricemia is not effectively controlled. 2.People with frequent attacks of gouty arthritis, more than 5 to 6 attacks in a year. 3.The gouty stones are increasing, enlarging or have broken down. 4.People who have severe gouty nephropathy, hyperalgesia and bilateral extensive gouty kidney stones. 5.People who already have a variety of complications, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc. Gout patients generally do not have life-threatening conditions, but if they have combined uremia, leukemia, kidney stones and hydronephrosis, they should pay great attention and go to the hospital early for regular and systematic treatment, otherwise they may have life-threatening conditions.
