Generally, if patients actively treat and control the progression of the disease, it will not pose a threat to life. However, if standardized and effective treatment is not provided in a timely manner, and the patient remains in a state of hyperuricemia for an extended period, it may affect the patient's lifespan.
1. No Impact:
Gout is a metabolic disease that clinically manifests primarily as discomfort such as joint swelling and pain. The occurrence of this disease is related to metabolic disorders of purine substances in the body, and it is more common in obese individuals and patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. For those without complications, drug intervention can effectively alleviate clinical symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
2. Impact:
If dietary adjustments are neglected or medications are not taken as prescribed, leading to continuous progression of the disease, it may cause renal function impairment, kidney stone formation, and other conditions. This not only exacerbates the original symptoms but also easily triggers cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents, such as acute coronary syndrome, ischemic stroke, and other severe situations, thereby endangering personal life safety. Therefore, it is recommended that patients with the aforementioned diseases adopt a low-salt, low-fat diet in their daily lives, avoiding animal viscera and seafood to reduce the risk of cancer. Additionally, strict abstinence from alcohol, regular exercise to improve physical fitness, and periodic reviews of liver and kidney function tests, blood lipid tests, and other relevant indicators are essential for doctors to understand disease progression and adjust treatment plans accordingly.
