Waking up one morning, Huang Sheng felt severe pain and redness in the big toe joint of his right foot. He couldn't stand upright even when he got out of bed. After a doctor's diagnosis, he was diagnosed with acute "gout", which was caused by his eating habits of eating meat and drinking alcohol. The doctor ordered him to quit the high "purine" eating habits immediately to avoid the recurrence of gout. attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do high "Purine" foods induce gout?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In our daily diet, some foods contain a high content of "Purine" (also known as purine, an organic compound, colorless crystal). After "Purine" is metabolized and decomposed in our body, it will become uric acid. It is then excreted from the urine through the kidneys, and generally speaking, it will not affect health.

However, the metabolism of uric acid can be affected by genetic factors, dietary habits, renal excretion function, etc. When the metabolism is out of balance and the body accumulates too much uric acid or excretes too little, hyperuricemia will appear, increasing the chance of developing gout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Severe gout can cause joint deformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gout is actually a common arthritic disease. The cause is that the level of uric acid in the human blood is too high, and urate crystals are deposited in the joints and other parts of the body, causing joint inflammation, which in turn causes joint pain, redness, heat and swelling and other symptoms.

Most cases of acute gout affect only a single joint, most commonly the big toe, followed by the other toes, the ankle and the knee. The onset usually occurs in the early morning. The affected area will suddenly become red, swollen, hot and painful. There may be no warning before the onset, so patients often feel restless. Under normal circumstances, the pain is relieved after the patient takes the medicine, and even without treatment, the symptoms will subside on their own within 3 to 10 days.

If the level of uric acid in the blood continues to be high, it may develop into multiple joint inflammations, including knees, ankles, fingers, etc., and often recurs and deteriorates into chronic gout. In severe cases, it can lead to joint deformation, gouty kidney disease, etc. complication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk Factors for Gout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Men are more likely to suffer from gout than women, especially when they are over 40 years old, so they should pay more attention to their diet. People who are taking diuretics, patients with hematological diseases, cancer, hypothyroidism, kidney disease, or immediate family members with gout are also at higher risk of developing the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet control is effective in preventing disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If suffering from acute gout, the doctor will prescribe anti-inflammatory painkillers or colchicine (Colchicine) according to the patient's condition to reduce joint redness and pain. If gout attacks frequently, long-term use of uric acid synthesis inhibitors or uric acid excretion-promoting drugs is required to reduce the concentration of uric acid in the blood and reduce the chance of recurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although gout cannot be completely cured, diet control and appropriate drug treatment can prevent the recurrence of gout, maintain a healthy living habit, and reduce the chance of "falling into the trap". High-risk individuals are advised to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
