Can Uric Acid Crystals Deposited in Joints Be Excreted?

1. Uric acid crystals precipitated in joints can generally be excreted, and their excretion can be promoted through medication or surgery.

2. Uric acid crystals precipitating in joints are usually caused by frequently consuming food high in purine, leading to purine metabolism disorders in the body, which in turn elevates blood uric acid levels. After human metabolism, calcium ions combine and reach saturation, forming uric acid crystals that accumulate in soft tissues, which can lead to acute gout attacks and cause local joint swelling, pain, and other symptoms. Generally, under the guidance of a doctor, drugs such as Colchicine Tablets, Methotrexate Tablets, and Azathioprine Tablets can be used to control blood uric acid levels, reduce uric acid crystal precipitation in joints, absorb uric acid crystals in joints into the blood, and excrete them through the kidneys. If drug therapy is ineffective, surgical removal of tophus combined with uric acid-lowering drugs can be used to promote the excretion of uric acid crystals.

3. In daily life, attention should be paid to diet by avoiding food high in purine, such as seafood and animal internals, maintaining sufficient water intake, ensuring adequate sleep, exercising regularly, and promptly monitoring the condition with regular follow-ups.
