Gout generally does not lead to uremia. Uremia is a severe kidney disease, while gout is a metabolic disease that belongs to a relatively common disease in rheumatology and immunology. There is no direct causal relationship between the two, so having gout does not mean developing uremia. Uremia is caused by various factors leading to kidney damage. At the terminal stage, kidney function is completely lost, resulting in the accumulation of metabolic waste in the body, which produces a series of symptoms and signs, as well as a series of complications. However, gout patients do not cause kidney damage, so there is no direct relationship between gout and uremia. Common causes of uremia include chronic nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, etc. These diseases gradually damage the kidneys and ultimately lead to uremia. Since uremia is a severe disease, it poses a significant threat to the body. It is necessary to promptly undergo relevant examinations at the hospital, make a clear diagnosis, and start treatment as soon as possible. Patients can be treated through hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, kidney transplantation, etc. In addition, they can also use sodium bicarbonate tablets, calcium acetate, sodium lactate, and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate symptoms. Patients with gout must strictly follow the doctor's instructions for treatment and cannot stop, reduce, or change the medication without permission. Daily diet should focus on low-salt, low-fat, and low-purine foods, with absolute abstinence from alcohol and tobacco. Patients should also rest adequately and avoid overexertion.
