What complications can gout cause?

If gout is not effectively treated and controlled, the impact will be relatively large. It may also be complicated by hypertension, diabetes and cerebrovascular disease. These complications will threaten our health.

1: Hypertension. Most gout patients are obese, with excessive fat accumulation in the body and lack of exercise, which can easily cause arteriosclerosis and cause hypertension.

2: What are the complications of gout? Diabetes is also a serious complication of gout. Both gout and diabetes are diseases caused by metabolic disorders in the body. There is a close correlation between uric acid levels and blood sugar levels. Usually, people with high uric acid levels also have high blood sugar levels, which can easily induce diabetes, which is a very obvious complication of gout.

3: Cerebrovascular disease. The complications of gout are often manifested in cerebrovascular symptoms. Gout patients often suffer from arteriosclerosis, narrowing of cerebral blood vessels, and poor blood flow, which causes ischemia and hypoxia, leading to headaches, dizziness, numbness of hands and feet, and even loss of consciousness or death, which is extremely harmful to health.

Through the introduction of the above content, I hope everyone will have an understanding of the complications and related symptoms caused by gout. At the same time, I also hope to attract the attention of gout patients. Once the above symptoms appear, timely treatment is needed so that gout can be better controlled.
