How to treat chronic gouty arthritis

The treatment of chronic gouty arthritis is divided into three aspects: lifestyle adjustment, monitoring risk factors, and drug therapy. 1. Lifestyle adjustment: low purine diet, purine control below 100~150mg/d, avoid high purine diet such as animal offal, seafood, thick meat soup, avoid alcohol, high fructose, high calorie, high fat food intake, drink more water, maintain ideal body weight, and increase the intake of alkaline food such as fresh fruits and vegetables. 2. Risk factor monitoring: pay attention to monitoring changes in risk factors such as blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids, and avoid triggers such as infection, exertion and cold. 3. Drug therapy: apply drugs to promote uric acid excretion, such as benzbromarone, and inhibit uric acid production, such as allopurinol and febuxostat. All of the above drugs should be used in accordance with the doctor’s prescription. It is recommended that patients with chronic gouty arthritis should go to regular hospitals in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of doctors.
