Gout is not yet curable. The etiology and pathogenesis of gout are not well understood, and current treatments cannot eradicate the cause of the disease, so gout cannot be cured. Gout is a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by purine metabolism disorders and uric acid excretion disorders, which are characterized by elevated serum uric acid, recurrent acute arthritis, gouty stones and joint deformities, uric acid kidney stones and so on. Most gout is congenital, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, with some familial susceptibility. Patients can take uric acid-lowering medications as prescribed by their doctors while changing their lifestyle habits, which can prevent the progression of the disease by controlling hyperuricemia, preventing urate deposition, and preventing the formation of uric acid stones and renal function damage. Gout is a chronic and serious disease, can not be cured, can lead to a decline in the quality of life of patients, but can control the condition, relieve symptoms.
