Features: Gout is a disease that causes damage to tissues and organs due to high uric acid levels. During an attack, it feels like being pricked by needles, knives, or blades, causing extreme pain. It often leads to joint deformities, and in severe cases, it can be life-threatening. The generation of uric acid in the human body is significantly influenced by diet. If dietary habits are not controlled, excessive intake of purines from food can disrupt purine metabolism in the body, leading to oxidation into uric acid. Clinically, typical manifestations include recurrent attacks of acute or chronic gouty arthritis, elevated blood uric acid levels, and the formation of tophi in long-term patients, often resulting in joint deformities. In the later stages of the disease, it can cause uric acid kidney stones and other renal parenchymal damage, posing a life-threatening risk.
