Unlock the health password to prevent gout

With the improvement of people's living standards and changes in diet structure, the prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout in my country has increased year by year, and it has shown a trend of younger. Hyperuricemia has become the "fourth high" after hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. According to statistics, the prevalence of hyperuricemia in my country is about 13.3%, and the prevalence of gout is about 1.7%.

Recently, the reporter learned from the clinical immunology department of the Xijing Hospital of the Air Force Medical University that from the perspective of the diagnosis and treatment of common chronic diseases, gout patients now gradually become younger, and the promotion of gout standardized diagnosis and treatment needs to be further strengthened.

Pay attention to gout youthful

In the workplace, business entertainment, push the cup and change the cup; in life, attend the party, with wine club friends. Gout is closely related to lifestyle. For example, daily consumption of nutritious foods such as meat, seafood and other nutrients, and a large number of people who drink a lot of alcohol are more likely to suffer from gout. Speaking of gout, many people think that it is the illness that can only get in the age. As everyone knows, with the improvement of living standards, there are more and more patients with gout. In recent years, many teenagers have found that uric acid has increased significantly and even gout.

"The" rich disease "of gout is no longer the" standard "of" greasy 'middle -aged people', and it is more and more '.' Teenagers. They have not eaten the history of high protein and alcoholism. Uric acid and gout, and are closely related to drinking drinks with excessive drinking sugar, which pose a huge threat to their health. Therefore, the trend of preventing and controlling gout should be used to avoid drinking drinks containing excessive fruit sugar. Started, and closely monitor the level of blood uric acid to achieve standard control, "said Jia Junfeng, deputy director of the clinical immunology department of Xijing Hospital of the University of Air Force, said.

In the human body, the purine generated by food and its own metabolism will further metabolize into uric acid. Under normal conditions, uric acid has no negative impact on the human body, and even has certain benefits, but when uric acid occurs too much or excretion obstacles, it can cause hyperuricemia. This high uric acid is the root of gout. Because the gout was asymptomatic early, many people could not immediately find themselves sick. At present, the body indicators that directly reflect the gout disease are blood uric acid. Therefore, you should pay attention to whether your blood uric acid exceeds the standard during the physical examination. Once you exceed the standard, you must start paying attention to prevention.

Hyperuricemia and gout are complex diseases of genetic and environmental factors. They are a multi -gene -related disease. They have a certain family gathering of disease. "In the clinic, some patients have long -term hyperuricemia, but they have not developed into gout, which shows that the patient has an susceptible gene of gout. However, in the clinic . "Jia Junfeng said.

Make gout no longer "crazy"

The clinical characteristics of gout are acute and chronic arthritis caused by hyperuricemia, gout deposition, and characteristic recurrence. Among them, acute gouting arthritis is the most common symptom of gout. When the first attack, most of them only invaded single joints. The first metatarsal toe joints are the most common. Patients can lead to physical malformations or disability. During the occurrence of gouty arthritis, the crystals of uric acid in the blood are deposited in joint cartilage, joint capsules, slidels, ligaments, and subcutaneous tissues to form gout nodules. The pain in the affected area will be very severe. Symptoms such as fever and pain.

The reason why it is called "gout" is because the pain comes to the wind and go fast, but it is easy to recur. Once the gout turns chronic, patients have to face problems such as gout stones, joint malformations, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. "The treatment of gout is first to relieve the patient's pain symptoms; secondly, the key is to control the patient's uric acid level and achieve standard treatment." Jia Junfeng said.

"The treatment of gout needs to be persisted for a long time. Even if the gout is stable and does not have an episodes, and the level of blood uric acid meets the standards, the patient still needs to be reviewed regularly. The suspension should be performed under the premise of the doctor's control and the doctor's suggestion." Jia Junfeng It is mentioned that the main reason for the current difficulty to cure is that the patient and doctors are not high enough. Many patients disappear after taking the medicine after taking the medicine.

Moreover, joint pain is a very common symptom. It is a common manifestation of many diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and anumitis, which is difficult to distinguish between patients. Jia Junfeng believes that the immune department can help patients conduct analysis and consideration from the perspective of the system and confirm the diagnosis in time.

In addition, April 20th is designated as "the whole people's attention to gout day", which aims to popularize the knowledge of gout and hyperuricemia prevention. Jia Junfeng introduced that the clinical immunology department of the Xijing Hospital of the Air Force Military Medical University set up a patient meeting of patients who manages chronic diseases to organize patients to carry out targeted health education. At the same time, they can strengthen communication between doctors and patients and promote disease treatment. The clinical immunology department also established an outpatient clinic for gout, counting patient data to help diagnosis and treatment.

Hold your mouth and open your legs

The most fundamental cause of gout is the elevation of uric acid, so from theory and fact, if the uric acid can be controlled in a normal range, it can be cured. Regarding the reasons for repeated attacks, Jia Junfeng analyzed that gout patients not only need to take the medicine according to the doctor's order, but also the patient's living habits also need to be controlled. In the final analysis, "hold your mouth and open your legs."

Patients with gout should strictly control the consumption of high purine foods such as the heart, liver, kidney and seafood, and meat, and eat as little or not. Followed by drinking alcohol, for gout patients, wine is taboo. Among all kinds of wine, beer is the most likely to cause gout and fierce alcohol. Whether it is a large amount of alcohol or a small amount of alcohol for a long time, it will seduce gout attacks. It is best to drink more water in patients with gout. The daily water supplements are mainly drinking boiled water. There is no purine component in boiling water, which can not only drink a lot, but also make sufficient urine per day to promote uric acid excretion. The characteristic of gout is that the affected area will cause severe pain, so many ordinary gout patients dare not take exercise to improve, worrying that they will aggravate the condition. Jia Junfeng said that proper physical exercise will not only help the recovery of the condition, but also help the recurrence of gout.

Everyone often says that summer is the season of "beer+crayfish". However, when you are addicted, your body may be brewing a "revolution". Jia Junfeng emphasized that if you do n’t want to suffer from gout, people who like to eat seafood, animal internal organs and good wine must hold their mouths. Otherwise, maybe the day of the gout will "encounter unexpectedly, accompany each other for life", and take long -term medication for treatment. But because the gout is the root of hyperuricemia, if the uric acid is controlled within the normal range, the gout can be well controlled. From this perspective, gout is also considered to be "cured" rheumatism.
