What's wrong with foot gout?

Foot gout is usually gout that occurs in the feet. The causes can be divided into basic causes and predisposing factors.

1. Basic causes

Foot gout is closely related to hyperuricemia. If the patient has uric acid excretion disorders, some genetic diseases lead to abnormal uric acid metabolism, excessive uric acid production after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, kidney diseases lead to elevated uric acid, or some drugs inhibit uric acid deviation, etc., it may lead to hyperuricemia and symptoms of foot gout.

2. Predisposing factors

If the patient often eats pork liver, sardines or oysters and other high-purine foods, it may lead to uric acid crystal deposition in the body, causing symptoms of foot pain. If the patient eats warfarin sodium tablets, ethambutol hydrochloride tablets or nicotinic acid tablets, it may affect the uric acid excretion ability of the kidney, leading to increased blood uric acid levels in the patient and symptoms of foot gout. If the patient has kidney disease, cardiovascular disease or metabolic syndrome, it may lead to symptoms of hyperuricemia, causing foot pain.

Most of the foot gout can be treated effectively by general treatment, drug treatment and surgery.

1. General treatment

patients should ensure adequate daily drinking water, limit the intake of high purine food, increase physical exercise, control weight reasonably, and effectively relieve the symptoms of foot gout.

2. Drug treatment

patients can be treated under the guidance of the attending doctor with colchicine tablets, febuxostat tablets or benzbromarone tablets
