Gouty nephropathy cannot be cured, but the progress of the disease can be controlled by treatment.
Gouty nephropathy is due to the deposition of urate crystals in the kidneys, resulting in renal tubular function damage, followed by renal fibrosis, renal function decline, clinical swelling, proteinuria, hypertension and other manifestations. Because the onset of early gouty nephropathy is insidious, the course of the disease is long, and it is difficult to detect, so it is necessary to prevent the progression of gouty nephropathy and actively control the blood uric acid level.
To delay the progression of gouty nephropathy, we need to actively control the diet, such as avoiding seafood, beer, barbecue, animal offal and other high-purine diets, drinking more water to promote uric acid excretion; regular checkups of renal function and early intervention.
Gouty nephropathy cannot be cured, and the advanced stage may lead to renal insufficiency and uremia. Therefore, patients with gouty nephropathy should consult the doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
