Gout is caused by a disorder of purine metabolism and is characterized by an increase in uric acid in the blood, which can be deposited in the joints and form gout stones. Gout is hereditary, and people who have a family history of gout are generally prone to develop gout if they do not change their eating habits. It is worth mentioning that gout is related to obesity, high blood pressure, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other “rich diseases”, unscientific diet, long-term heavy drinking, and poor lifestyle habits can easily cause gout.
