Eggs are hypopurine foods and can be eaten by gout patients. 100 mg of purine content is less than 50 mg. However, if gout patients also suffer from other basic diseases, such as hyperlipidemia, then other ingredients in eggs should be properly controlled, such as the high blood lipid content of egg yolk, and it is necessary to make adjustments. Gout patients can't eat high purine food. As long as they keep a light diet and then take appropriate treatment, the discomfort of gout will be alleviated.

For fresh duck eggs, gout patients can safely eat them, because they are hypopurine foods. However, patients are advised to eat salted duck eggs as little as possible, because gout patients require a low-salt and low-fat diet. Salted duck eggs contain more salt and need to be controlled.
