To gout and kidney patients

With the continuous improvement of material life, the incidence rate of gout getting higher and higher. Gout is an increase in blood uric acid metabolic disease. Uric acid in the human body is the end product of purine metabolism, purine metabolic disorders or kidney excretion of uric acid reduction, may cause hyperuricemia. The disease more common in middle-aged men over, most significant arthritis performance, and often violations of a single joint, the joint order of common: great toe, the first toe metatarsal joints, arch, ankle, knee and other joints red, swollen , Heat, pain. Pain relief, joint local skin may appear scaling and itching. If there is more than the performance in light of increased acidity hematuria, or can be diagnosed as gout. Be made is that gout hyperuricemia is a form of expression, and some of hyperuricemia can be asymptomatic, the asymptomatic period of up to several years to several decades. Hyperuricemia long-term can not be corrected, the blood uric acid salts can be deposited in the kidneys and cause kidney changes in organizational structure, known as hyperuricemia nephropathy, also known as the gouty nephropathy. It is reported that study of gout patients found that almost 100 percent have varying degrees of kidney damage. Gout renal kidney disease mainly interstitial nephritis and renal damage, kidney damage and elevated blood uric acid level is directly proportional to the length and duration. Early performance can only mild to moderate proteinuria dysfunction and urinary enrichment, the glomerular filtration rate normal. Late have high blood pressure and azotemia. About 25 percent of patients will inclusion urinary tract infection. Gouty kidney disease each unknowingly, the relatively slow progress, often 10-20 years experience in renal failure. But long-term control of blood uric acid poor, urinary tract infections and kidney damage of drug use and so can speed up the process of renal failure. Many patients gout attacks joint pain only focus on anti-inflammatory pain and symptomatic treatment, just ignored the dangers of gout on the human body's largest organ - the maintenance of the kidney, the passage of time, the chronic renal failure on the inevitable happened, and When kidney failure again to a certain extent on the appropriate treatment too late. Treatment of gout nephropathy mainly control hyperuricemia and control of urinary tract infection. Allopurinol alcohol drop of serum uric acid is effective, but long-term use of the drug side-effects of toxic to the kidneys, limiting the drug in clinical use. In recent years, many Chinese medicine experts from the motherland committed to the treasure house of Chinese medicine in the treatment of gout to explore an effective prescription success. Chinese medicine in the treatment of gout is extremely wide application in both Bianzheng of governance, have identified disease of governance; treatment of both acute phase, but also for the chronic phase, intermittent remission, both permanent cure, treating the symptoms. Significant clinical effect on the patient's kidney function is also available in the protection role of the comprehensive treatment significantly better than Western medicine.
