What causes gout

summary

Whether women or men, the most fundamental cause of gout is the abnormal accumulation of purine metabolism, which leads to the continuous increase of uric acid concentration in the blood. Gout, in fact, can also be regarded as a metabolic disease. There are many reasons for the increase of uric acid concentration in the blood, such as the abnormal function of artificial kidney, the decrease of uric acid clearance rate, which will lead to the increase of total uric acid concentration in the body, which can also lead to women's diabetes. If uric acid in plasma reaches saturation, it will precipitate a kind of monosodium urate, which will affect tissues and organs.

What causes gout

First, monosodium urate crystals are easy to precipitate and accumulate in the joints of the distal part of the body and in the places where the blood vessels of the body tissue are lacking. If it is more serious, it will affect the synovium of the joints and cause inflammation. The most common part of thin face is the big toe, which accounts for about 50% to 70%.

Second: Gout also has a lot to do with diet. For example, some people like to eat animals' brains, livers and kidneys, or they like to eat some dark colored meat products. The purine content in these foods is very high. After eating, purine metabolism can produce a lot of uric acid.

Third: the cause of gout is related to uric acid, and the cause of attack is not only uric acid. Some people may have an acute attack of gout due to weather changes, such as sudden drop of temperature or sudden change of air pressure. Others have gout attacks due to trauma or surgery.

matters needing attention

It must be noted that if a person drinks alcohol, the alcohol will make the body's water be absorbed in a large amount, which will suddenly lead to the increase of uric acid concentration, thus making gout attack. So gout patients must not drink alcohol at ordinary times.
