Mistake 1: Do not take high uric acid and gout seriously.
Some friends found that uric acid was high during physical examination or accidental examination. At this time, there may be no abnormalities such as joint pain, so some friends may think, "There is nothing to be afraid of anyway." In fact, this view is very dangerous.
Mistake 2: Do only one inspection and ignore the re-inspection.
For friends with high uric acid and gout, it is necessary to check blood uric acid, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, liver function, kidney B-ultrasound and so on.
No matter who has started taking drugs to reduce uric acid, or whose blood uric acid is too high but can't meet the drug standard, it is necessary to regularly check the blood uric acid and other indicators.
Mistake 3: Don't take medicine as long as gout doesn't break out.
In the eyes of many patients, gout is just joint pain. Take some painkillers when it hurts, and leave it alone when it doesn't. This is a typical "palliative" behavior.
Mistake 4: only take medicine, not adjust lifestyle.
In order to cure gout, lifestyle adjustment and drugs are indispensable. Reducing uric acid level through uric acid lowering drugs can slow down or prevent the harm caused by high uric acid to the body, thus providing good recovery conditions for the body. Of course, if you don't pay attention to adjusting your lifestyle during this period, your body will not recover easily.
Mistake 5: Buy all kinds of gout drugs.
With the current medical level, gout is incurable. However, some businessmen even slogan "only cure gout, medicine can cure the disease". A disease that medical experts all over the world could not overcome was solved by a layman. If you think deeply, you will know the purpose behind it, that is, to empty everyone's pockets.
