Gout is a purine metabolism disorder and (or) uric acid excretion disorder caused by metabolic diseases, the main symptoms of recurrent joint redness, swelling, joint pain and so on. Gouty people generally can not eat high-purine food, do not drink alcohol, should also avoid taking drugs that affect uric acid excretion.

1. High purine food:

Eating animal liver and kidney, fish or shrimp and other seafood and other high-purine food, can promote the increase of uric acid production, may induce or aggravate the symptoms of gout, so people with gout should avoid eating high-purine food.

2. Alcohol:

Excessive consumption of alcohol can promote the formation of uric acid and inhibit the secretion of uric acid, increasing the risk of gout. So gouty people should avoid drinking alcohol.

3. Drugs affecting uric acid excretion:

Taking diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide), immunosuppressants (such as tacrolimus, azathioprine) and other drugs can cause uric acid to increase reabsorption through the renal tubules, reducing uric acid excretion and leading to gout. So gouty people should strictly follow the doctor's advice, avoid taking or minimize taking the above drugs.

If there are gouty relatives, it is recommended to have regular medical checkups and pay attention to blood uric acid and other indicators. If there are symptoms such as redness and swelling of joints and severe pain in the joints, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner to clarify the cause of the disease and follow the doctor's instructions to standardize the treatment so as to avoid delaying the disease.
