Clinical] but to take a small amount of medication, try to minimize the attack, the symptoms at the time of the attack are mild, do not affect the normal life and work, do not destroy the joints, there are no complications, etc.
- Gout hurts the kidneys? -
Urate crystals formed in the body of gout patients can be deposited anywhere in the body. Deposition in the joints will cause redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, and damage the joints; Deposition in the kidneys can cause uric acid nephropathy, which can progress to uremia in severe cases.
- Are all those miracle drugs on the Internet useless? -
The so-called gout special medicine or foreign imported elixir on the market is a powder made of hormone drugs mixed with pills of unknown composition, and it is huge to take it for a long time, so please don't believe it easily.
- do wind-resistant carrots work? -
Carrots can't ** gout, it's still just food in nature, with less purine content, gout patients can eat more, but it doesn't help much to lower uric acid and relieve pain. In the same way, celery seeds, celery seed extract, and celery seed powder should not be used for gout.
- Do uric acid-lowering drugs harm the liver and kidneys? -
Urate-lowering drugs such as febuxostat are metabolized through the liver and kidneys, so they may have a little impact on the liver and kidneys, but as long as they are used in a standardized manner, they are negligible. At the same time, uric acid-lowering drugs are not dependent and addictive.
Of course, if you buy informal drugs such as "acid friends" to lower uric acid, it will naturally be very harmful.
- Are sodium bicarbonate tablets uric acid-lowering? -
Sodium bicarbonate tablets are not urate-lowering drugs, they are alkalizing uric acid, which plays a role in assisting in lowering uric acid.
- What should I pay attention to in my diet and life? -

2. You can't add or reduce drugs by yourself;
3. Urate-lowering drugs cannot relieve the pain of acute gout attacks, but will aggravate the pain, so they should be taken during the intermittent period of gout;
4. Urate-lowering drugs need to be taken persistently under the guidance of a specialist doctor until the uric acid reaches the standard for a long time.
5. A single dose of uric acid-lowering drugs can not dissolve tophi, nor can it be gout, and it is also necessary to accept standardized crystal melting to protect the kidney and regulate metabolism in order to stabilize the condition from the root.
- How to regulate gout**?
1.Full Inspection:
Musculoskeletal ultrasound Immunometabolic testing Microscopic detection of microcirculation occlusion Urinalysis Blood uric acid Urinary uric acid Liver and kidney function DR Radiograph Creatinine measurement ......
2.Acute onset:
Elevate the affected limb, drink plenty of fluids, apply local ice, and take anti-inflammatory analgesics in moderation.
3.Melting crystals protects the kidney and regulates metabolism:
Rongjing standardized uric acid lowering specialist characteristic examination and**.
Protect the kidney, regularly check the kidney function, formulate a plan for the symptoms, strictly control the blood uric acid and pH value, prevent and treat urinary tract infections, and eat a low-protein diet.
Metabolism regulation Combined with traditional Chinese medicine kidney metabolism conditioning, multi-angle combined medication promotes the uric acid metabolism function of the kidneys and protects the kidneys. Based on the root cause of gout, it combines dietary conditioning, clinical practice and consolidation. Based on the comprehensive examination of gout, starting from the fundamental cause of gout, through the standardization of ** in a short period of time to quickly relieve the patient's pain, balance the disordered metabolic system, to achieve the normal metabolism of purines, and combined with the diet of the regulation to consolidate the ** effect.
4.Anti-***
If the patient does not resist gout again in time after clinical practice, uric acid increases, complications, etc., it may lead to the abandonment of the previous efforts and increase the difficulty of the condition.

5.Regular review:
In order to stabilize the condition of gout and maintain a good physical state, gout patients need to record their physical condition regularly and develop the habit of recording relevant indicators at home during the period of standardizing the reduction of uric acid in gout. If conditions permit, the five indicators of blood uric acid value, morning urine pH value, weight change, blood pressure, and blood sugar can be recorded at home, and when the indicators change, contact the doctor in time. According to the doctor's requirements, it is also important to go to the hospital regularly for re-examination and test liver and kidney function and other indicators.
- What is the target for blood uric acid control? -
1. There is no tophi, and the blood uric acid is controlled at <360 mol l for a long time, which can promote the dissolution of urate crystals and avoid the formation of new crystals;
2. Patients with severe gout or tophi need to control blood uric acid at 200-300 mol l for a long time;
3. Do not < 180 mol l of blood uric acid.
- Is it really okay to eat meat anymore for gout? -
In the acute stage of non-gout, you can eat some meat with low and medium purines to supplement the required nutrients.
1. The purine content of red meat (mammals, including cattle, sheep, pigs, etc.) is higher than that of white meat (non-mammals, including chickens, ducks, geese, etc.). Therefore, it is recommended to consume poultry in moderation for meat.
2. The purine content of eggs, milk, sea cucumber and other purines is low, and high-quality protein is supplemented.
3. It is generally best not to eat more than 100g of meat per day for gout patients. It is also recommended to blanch the water before cooking with low salt and oil. Don't drink broth!
4. The purine content in animal offal such as liver, kidney, and heart is generally higher than that of ordinary meat. So, never eat animal offal!
5. Cured, cured or smoked meat has high purine and salt content, which will interfere with the metabolism of uric acid and is not conducive to lowering uric acid, so do not eat bacon, cured meat and bacon!
- Can that compound probiotic on the Internet lower uric acid? -
According to research, probiotic intervention is effective in regulating uric acid, mainly by blocking purine absorption to achieve a balanced uric acid value. But not all probiotics are good for balancing acid levels. Moreover, the uric acid-lowering effect of probiotics is far inferior to that of regular drugs.
Occasionally, when you want to lift the ban on purine diet, you can take some with you. If the first thing that comes to your mind every time you have a gout attack is to eat this, then you are holding the wrong "Buddha's feet".
- Can gout cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases? -
Yes, it is currently believed that urate can be directly deposited on the arterial wall, or it can stimulate vascular endothelial cell proliferation and lipid deposition in the arterial wall, which will lead to thickening, hardening and lumen narrowing of the arterial wall over time, thereby causing the occurrence of arteriosclerosis.
In addition, other factors coexisting with gout, such as obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, etc., are risk factors for arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease, which work together and promote each other, leading to the occurrence and development of arteriosclerosis, and ultimately causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
- What medicine should I take to lower my creatinine? -
After learning that high creatinine will hurt the kidneys, many gout patients begin to try various ways to "lower creatinine" and take a lot of inexplicable drugs, but the result is counterproductive. Therefore, don't take some kidney-protecting, creatinine-lowering drugs.
If the creatinine is elevated, the main purpose is to warn you that gout has harmed your kidneys, do not set the ** purpose as creatinine reduction, but should try your best to protect the remaining kidney function from being impaired. It is necessary to accept the ** of Rongjing to protect the kidney and regulate metabolism in time, maintain and repair the kidneys! If the kidneys are protected, creatinine will naturally be reduced, and there is no need to deliberately lower creatinine for the sake of lowering creatinine.
- How did the tophi grow back when it was just removed? -
1) Metabolic disorders are fundamental, so you must remember to regulate metabolism. Anti-***
2) Preoperative preparations should be in place, first stabilize the uric acid and then take the stone;
3) Traditional surgical stone removal has limitations and cannot be clean;
4) Don't be happy too early after tophi removal, uric acid must be stable for a long time.
Tips. Gout is more frequent in spring, and it is easy to **, especially during the Spring Festival, the change of diet leads to a sharp increase in patients with acute onset after the holiday. In addition, there are many patients who have recurrent joint pain and functional limitations due to irregular work and rest during the vacation period and failure to follow the doctor's instructions.
