Is gout harmful to the body

Mild gout is generally not harmful to the body, but if it is severe gout, it is harmful to the body.

Gout is a disease caused by uric acid metabolism disorders in the body. If the patient has mild gout, the uric acid level in the body is relatively low, and generally does not cause obvious adverse effects on joints and organs, so the harm to the body is generally small. However, if the patient has severe gout, the uric acid level in the patient's body will be abnormally increased, a large amount of urate crystals will deposit in the joints, causing joint damage, and the kidney burden will also increase at this time, so it is harmful to the body.
