First, is high uric acid gout? It is generally considered that hyperuricemia is diagnosed when uric acid is greater than 420 units (umol/L), and hyperuricemia is an early process of gout, so it can be considered that “asymptomatic hyperuricemia” is an early manifestation of gout, and all hyperuricemia can be considered as gout. It is only when it occurs in the joints that it is called gout. This is because only about one in five cases of hyperuricemia present with a gout attack. However, the higher the uric acid and the longer it is, the higher the chance of gout occurring. Therefore, high uric acid should be treated as gout. Second, is gout hereditary? Some patients hear that gout is hereditary, and since it is hereditary, they can’t be cured, and since they can’t be cured, they don’t treat it, and they don’t listen to the doctor’s words, and as a result, they later develop arthritis or kidney stones and regret it. It is true that some people do not get gout even though they eat, and some people do not eat much to get high. The occurrence of gout actually has both congenital and acquired factors, and often the two work together. We can control the acquired factors to achieve the purpose of treatment and prevention. So you can’t simply ask if it’s genetic. It can still be prevented and treated. Third, high uric acid or gout “what drugs to take”? On the Internet, people often ask doctors to prescribe medicine or ask “can I take a certain medicine”, which makes us laugh and cry, because it is difficult to answer in one sentence, because it is not the way to see a doctor. It is possible that many people do not understand and treat people like machines. Gout is caused by a group of purine metabolism disorders, and furthermore, it is a defect in the body’s enzymatic activity that makes the body produce more uric acid or reduce uric acid excretion, which can also produce more and excrete less. The causes and mechanisms of “more production” and “less excretion” are many and complex, and must be examined in person by a doctor in a hospital to conduct a comprehensive scientific analysis and then determine the treatment plan, which is difficult to have time to solve online. So be sure to go to the hospital first, only to determine the treatment plan, communicate with the doctor and then online contact consultation. Fourthly, is it okay to take Chinese medicine? Of course it is. Some people think that western medicine is fast to lower uric acid, so they don’t know to look for Chinese medicine. This is very unfortunate. In fact, Western medicine can only control, not cure. And sometimes uric acid-lowering drugs damage liver and kidney function, and you have to change, reduce or even stop the medication. My suggestion is to first diagnose the disease in western medicine and determine the treatment plan. Secondly, we should find a Chinese medicine doctor to see if we can solve the problem without western medicine through diet control and Chinese medicine. The third is to use western medicine to lower uric acid, and also use Chinese medicine, and gradually stop using western medicine. The fourth is that if the economic conditions are limited or unwilling to take Chinese medicine, you have to continuously seek treatment from Western doctors. The fifth thing that must be done all the time is dietary self-control. Control the intake of food containing a lot of purine. For example, beer, seafood, animal offal, etc. Fifth, how to treat Chinese medicine? The Chinese medicine practitioner must diagnose the pulse and prescribe medicine according to the person and the place and the time, not just according to a high uric acid prescription. This disease I often from the spleen loss of health, kidney deficiency, phlegm paralysis, dampness, heat and wind to dialectical treatment, to achieve the kidney and spleen to support the purpose of blood circulation, with diet treatment, the effect is still very satisfactory. To achieve the purpose of lowering uric acid, preventing arthritis, treating arthritis, preventing uric acid stones and treating uric acid stones through treatment.
