What is gout

summary

Now there are more and more elderly people suffering from gout, which also makes the old people's old age life a lot of trouble. Here I'd like to share with you the relevant knowledge of gout.

What is gout

Analysis 1. Uric acid nephrolithiasis: 10% - 25% of gout patients may have uric acid nephrolithiasis. Some patients even take uric acid nephrolithiasis as the first symptom. Small sediment like stones are easy to be excreted with urine, and patients may have no symptoms. Larger stones often cause renal colic and hematuria.

Analysis 2. Acute renal failure: what complications can gout cause? A large number of urate crystals are blocked in the renal tubules, renal pelvis and ureter, causing urinary tract obstruction, resulting in sudden oliguria or even anuria. If not handled in time, it can rapidly develop into acute renal failure, or even cause death.

Analysis 3. Kidney stones: according to statistics, the probability of kidney stones in gout patients is about 1000 times higher than that in normal people; because the more acid and acid-base in urine, the more prone to kidney stones, so we must take more boiled water and baking soda to prevent the occurrence of kidney stones.

matters needing attention

Gout patients in life should pay attention to keep warm, usually can not let the body catch cold, eat more food containing protein, less purine food, try to eat less meat, if you must eat, should be boiled meat soup. This is because purine is easily soluble in water and the content of purine in soup is very high. Although the protein content of bean products is high, it is not suitable for gout patients because it contains high purine components, such as soybeans, tofu, dried beans and so on.
