How does gout come about

There are many causes of gout, which can be divided into primary and secondary causes. The main cause of primary gout is the metabolic disorder of purine in the body, while the secondary cause is related to some bad living habits. It should also be noted that gout is often combined with some chronic diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., which cause great harm to patients. Let us understand how gout comes about.

How does gout come about?

1. The cause of high uric acid is irregular lifestyle. Some young people have an irregular life, hanging out in dance halls, playing mahjong, playing video games, surfing the Internet, etc., often all night long. This irregular lifestyle will disrupt the rhythm of the human body's "biological clock", cause metabolic disorders, and aggravate the acidity of the body, all of which have become the causes of gout.

2. Drug factors such as diuretics, antihypertensive drugs, chemotherapy drugs, and kidney disease, blood disease, diabetes, etc.

3. Too much pressure. Among white-collar workers who do mental work, the number of people suffering from gout is increasing. The reason why these people suffer from gout is due to tremendous work pressure and excessive mental stress, which leads to physical and mental fatigue, and lack of exercise. This will reduce the physiological functions of various organs, affect the excretion of metabolic waste, and make body fluids acidic, laying the root cause for gout. In addition, colds, cold stimulation, joint trauma, etc. are all causes of gout.

4. Drinking alcohol can easily cause gout, because when alcohol is metabolized in the liver tissue, it absorbs a large amount of water, which increases the blood concentration, causing the uric acid that was originally close to saturation to accelerate into the soft tissue to form crystals, causing the body's immune system to overreact (sensitize) and cause inflammation. Gout was called "the disease of kings" in ancient times, so the disease is prone to occur in dignitaries. For example, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, suffered from gout in his later years due to excessive drinking.

5. After some foods are metabolized, some of their derivatives can cause the uric acid crystals originally accumulated in the soft tissues to dissolve again, which can induce and aggravate arthritis.

The information above is an introduction to the causes of gout. I hope it can help you analyze it. Gout brings a lot of inconvenience to our lives, so we must understand the causes of gout in time and treat it in time. As long as we understand the causes of gout, we can control the disease. I would like to wish the patients a speedy recovery here.
