Usually, it is most appropriate for gout patients to drink 2000-2500ml of water every day, because gout is mainly hyperuricemia caused by abnormal purine metabolism and acute joint inflammation. After urine enters the uric acid pool, 2/3 is excreted through the kidney, and 1/3 is excreted through stool. At this time, a lot of water is needed, because it is mainly excreted through the kidneys.

In principle, the amount of drinking water should reach 2,000-2,500 ml per day, which can promote the rapid excretion of uric acid, reduce the blood uric acid value and relieve gout attacks. However, if you drink a lot of water, such as 3000-4000ml, it will increase the burden on the kidneys and is not good for the kidneys.

Proper drinking water can accelerate the metabolism of uric acid and alleviate the symptoms of gout.
