The survival time of a 25-year-old gout patient is related to treatment and diet, and cannot be generalized. Gout is mostly caused by abnormal purine metabolism leading to increased uric acid. Patients often present with recurrent episodes of joint redness, swelling and pain, mostly seen in men. The disease cannot be cured, so if patients take timely and effective treatment measures to control the onset of symptoms and can maintain normal work and life, their survival time is not significantly different from other non-gout patients; if not treated in a timely manner, in addition to leading to joint damage to reduce the quality of life, but also easy to complicate kidney disease, serious cases can induce kidney failure, shortening the survival time of patients. It is recommended that gout patients should minimize the intake of purine-rich foods, such as animal offal, seafood and various kinds of alcohol; in addition, they should drink more water to promote the excretion of uric acid salts.
