Gout stones can be removed surgically, but routine surgical removal of stones is not recommended among clinics. It is recommended to lower uric acid for a long time, which will dissolve urates and thus excrete them from the body with urine. This is a long-term process that requires maintaining uric acid between 300-360 μmol/L. Keeping uric acid levels below saturated uric acid levels will reduce the deposition of urate and allow the dissolution of urate that has been deposited. The purpose of regular monitoring of blood uric acid levels during treatment is to ensure the efficacy of the medication and to ensure that the correct dosage of the current medication is being used. The long-term goal of gout treatment is to achieve and maintain sub-saturated serum uric acid concentrations in order to prevent recurrent gout attacks and reverse existing manifestations such as gout stones, which can be treated with a variety of methods, including lifestyle changes and the use of uric acid-lowering medications. Although blood uric acid has been reduced below saturation levels, it still takes months to years to eliminate the load of urate crystals, so it is important to persist in lowering uric acid.
