one. What is gout: Gout: In ancient times, the disease was also called "gout". Also known as "painful arthritis" and "lijie". It is a metabolic disease caused by abnormal purine metabolism leading to increased uric acid synthesis. It has obvious heterogeneity in onset. In addition to hyperuricemia, it can manifest as acute arthritis, tophi, chronic arthritis, joint deformities, chronic interstitial nephritis and uric acid urinary tract disease.

two. Causes of gout; Causes in Traditional Chinese Medicine: According to TCM theory, the occurrence of gout is closely related to physical factors, living environment and diet. The deficiency of vital energy is the internal cause of the disease, and the invasion of exogenous pathogens is the external condition for the disease. 1. Wind, cold, dampness and heat invade the human body; 2. Congenital deficiency and deficiency of vital energy; 3. Phlegm and blood stasis are intertwined, and the meridians are blocked. The root cause of the disease is that evil qi blocks the meridians, and pain occurs when the meridians are blocked. Gout can cause lesions in the meridians and joints over a long period of time, affecting the internal organs, among which heart obstruction is the most common.

IV. Complications of gout Gout may cause the following complications: 1. Renal dysfunction

Such as acute renal failure, renal colic, hydronephrosis, pyelonephritis, pyonephrosis or perinephritis. 2. Ischemic heart disease, arteriosclerosis and coronary heart disease

Gout is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease and a promoter of arteriosclerosis. If gout is not effectively treated, persistent hyperuricemia will cause excessive urate crystals to precipitate in the coronary arteries, and the hyperaggregation of platelets will accelerate arteriosclerosis. 3. Obesity and hyperlipidemia 4. Diabetes

Gout patients also have a genetic history, and diet is also very important for people with gout. They should not smoke or drink, and should not eat high-fat and high-salt foods. They should eat more whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, and pay attention to rest and drink plenty of water.
