Hyperuricaemia and gout
Causes and symptoms
- Gout is a painful, inflammatory disease of the joints in adults, triggered by an excess of uric acid in the blood ("hyperuricaemia") that has been present for years. During a long, symptom-free phase, so-called uric acid crystals increasingly form, which can be deposited in the joints over time. In addition to severe pain, they lead to swelling, reddening and warming of the joint ("acute gout attack"). The metatarsophalangeal joint is most commonly affected, followed by the knees and wrists. Gout is diagnosed from the first occurrence of the symptoms mentioned. This metabolic disease progresses in phases: symptom-free periods are interrupted by acute, very painful attacks. These usually occur at night and are caused by characteristic triggers such as physical or psychological stress and certain foods or drinks (see also the "Diet and lifestyle recommendations" section). Gout is also characterised by subsequent joint inflammation. The first attacks of gout do not usually cause permanent joint damage. However, if the uric acid level is not reduced by suitable treatment, the gout attacks occur at increasingly shorter intervals and cause permanent damage to the joints.
Frequency
- Gout is one of the most common metabolic diseases in industrialised countries. Around 30 per cent of men and 3 per cent of women are affected by hyperuricaemia, and around one in ten people with hyperuricaemia develops gout. Increasingly, gout is also being diagnosed in younger people due to its association with poor diet, alcohol consumption, lack of exercise and obesity. In rare cases, the body produces so much uric acid due to a genetic defect (Lesch-Nyhan syndrome) that the kidneys are unable to cope with excretion, which also leads to gout attacks.
Concomitant diseases
- Gout is both an acute and a chronic inflammatory disease that often affects the whole body. It is assumed that there is a connection between gout and cardiovascular disease due to the constant inflammation during the symptom-free phases or the acute inflammation during a gout attack. People with gout are therefore much more frequently affected by concomitant diseases compared to the normal population. Cardiovascular diseases (such as high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke) and chronic kidney dysfunction are much more common in gout patients. In addition, around a quarter of people with gout suffer from diabetes and one in two from morbid obesity.
- For these reasons, intervention at the first signs of gout (elevated uric acid levels) is important. In addition to general measures such as a change in lifestyle, the intake of dietary foods such as Montmorency Cherry capsules is also advisable
- They should only be used after consultation with a doctor and can also be used in addition to uric acid-lowering therapy.
Dietary and lifestyle recommendations:
- Purine-rich foods can increase uric acid levels and the risk of gout. For example, avoid (red) meat such as beef, pork, lamb and offal as well as seafood (especially shellfish and mussels). The consumption of all vegetables is expressly recommended
- Depending on the dose, alcohol generally increases the risk of a gout attack. Avoid beer and spirits in particular. Wine poses a comparatively low risk for gout
- Drinks with a high fructose (fruit sugar) content can increase uric acid levels. Avoid soft drinks and fruit juices. Regular consumption of coffee can help to lower uric acid levels
- Make sure you exercise regularly, at least 2 to 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes at a time
- Weight gain and obesity can increase uric acid levels and lead to gout attacks. If you are overweight, losing weight slowly can help to reduce uric acid levels and thus protect against gout.
What positive effects does Montmorency Cherry - Liquidum haveon gout?
In recent decades, cherries have attracted a great deal of attention from researchers and patients for the prevention and treatment of gout. Cherry preparations, especially those made from Montmorency sour cherries, contain a high proportion of anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Studies have shown that eating cherries or taking cherry preparations
- lowers serum uric acid levels
- is associated with a lower risk of goutand
- may reduce the frequency of acute gout attacks
General information
- Increasing vitamin C intake helps to lower uric acid levels. Supplemental vitamin C intake (> 500 mg per day) reduces uric acid levels and is associated with a reduction in the risk of gout.
- According to an observational study, increased magnesium intake is associatedwith a reduced risk of hyperuricaemia. Magnesium can be present in different compounds. The magnesium citrate contained in Montmorency Cherry Liquidum is particularly recommended for gout, as it has an alkaline effect, neutralises acids (acidosis correction) and thus increases the excretion of uric acid.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency regularly occurs as part of a change in diet for the treatment of gout, as gout patients should avoid certain foods containing vitamin B12 (such as meat or fish) due to their high purine content.
