Gout is a disease caused by a disorder of uric acid metabolism, which is mainly manifested by joint pain, redness, swelling, fever and other symptoms. It is very important to be prompt if you are diagnosed with gout. Let's talk about the importance of early detection of gout, as well as the three harms caused by gout.
First of all, gout is a chronic disease, and if it is not timed, the symptoms will reverse, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. The onset of gout can cause symptoms such as joint pain, redness, swelling, and fever, which seriously affects the patient's daily life and work.
Moreover, long-term failure can also lead to joint deformity, destruction, and even complications such as arthritis, which will bring greater pain to patients.
Secondly, gout can also cause harm to the patient's cardiovascular health. People with gout have elevated levels of uric acid in their bodies, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with gout is many times higher than in the normal population. Therefore, it is very important to control the level of uric acid in time for gout to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.
Finally, gout can also be harmful to the kidneys. Uric acid is excreted through the kidneys, and when the uric acid level is too high, it will cause uric acid crystals to be deposited in the kidneys, forming uric acid stones, which in turn will cause problems such as kidney stones and kidney function damage.
If you don't have gout for a long time, uric acid stones will continue to accumulate, causing serious damage to the kidneys and even leading to the occurrence of chronic kidney disease.
In summary, it is very important to have gout as early as possible after it is detected. Timely** can effectively control symptoms, prevent complications, and improve the quality of life of patients.
At the same time, understanding the three harms caused by gout can make patients pay more attention to the prevention and prevention of gout, avoid the deterioration of the condition, and protect their health.
