Gout may cause kidney stones.
Gout is a disease caused by the deposition of uric acid salts in the body, and in some patients, uric acid salts accumulate in the kidneys, which may lead to uric acid kidney stones. Clinically, patients present with sudden severe pain in the lower back or abdomen, and ultrasound, X-ray, CT, etc. will reveal the presence of obvious stones. If the discharged stones are examined pathologically, it will be found that the composition of the stones is urate.
It is recommended that gout patients go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of physicians to standardize the treatment, and strictly comply with the doctor’s prescription medication, so as not to affect the prognosis. Usually pay attention to low purine diet, avoid strenuous exercise, increase the amount of water to promote the discharge of uric acid.
