Gout can appear kidney damage. According to statistics, gout patients are 20 to 25 per cent of uric acid kidney, and the autopsy confirmed that a kidney disease almost 100%. It includes gouty nephropathy, acute obstruction of the urinary tract and kidney stones. (1) gouty nephropathy persistent hyperuricemia, 20% in clinical performance on the nephropathy, after several years or more may have a glomerular and tubular damage to the development of a small number of urine Duzheng. Urate the incidence of kidney after gouty joint damage, and is closely related with the disease and treatment. Research shows that uric acid salt nephropathy and gouty arthritis unrelated to the extent that the mild arthritis patients may have renal disease, arthritis and severe kidney patients is not necessarily abnormal. Early mild unilateral or bilateral pain, swelling and later a mild to moderate hypertension. Urinary acid, intermittent or sustained proteinuria, generally no more than + +. Almost all renal function decline in enrichment, a nocturnal enuresis, and more urine and urinary relatively low density. About five to ten years after the kidney increase, for further development of uremia, about 17% -25% died of renal failure. (2) urolithiasis gout patients urinary acid, thus increasing concentration of uric acid in urine, with smaller stones from the urine, but often without feeling, urinary sediments shows that small brown sand; larger stones can be obstructive Ureter caused hematuria and renal colic, because of a urinary infection secondary to poor pyelonephritis. Huge stones can cause renal pelvis beacon deformation, hydronephrosis. X uric acid stones simply not the online image, when uric acid, sodium and calcium stones that X online shadow. (3) Acute obstructive nephropathy found in blood uric acid in urine and uric acid increased significantly, it is because a large number uric acid crystal tubular obstruction caused by extensive. Gout often and hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Gout in older persons in the cause of death, cardiovascular factors far more than renal insufficiency. However, gout and cardiovascular diseases there is no direct causal link between, but with both obesity and dietary factors are related.
