Overview

Secondary Prevention strategies for Gout include dietary and life style modifications. Dietary and life style modifications are indicated for preventing gout flares. Consuming less purine rich food, fructose rich foods, cherries, vitamin C, increasing low fat dairy product consumption, avoiding red meat go in favour of reducing acute gout flares. Decreasing alcohol consumption, smoking cessation, weight loss, controlling underlying chronic conditions like Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension favour decrease in gout flares.

Secondary prevention

life style modifications[edit | edit source]
  • weight reduction reduces serum uric acid levels.
  • Limiting alcohol intake and abstinence from alcohol in acute flares.
  • All general lifestyle changes( like smoking cessation, increased physical activity, limiting telivision watching, eating healthy, etc.) that play role in control of chronic diseases are found to be more beneficial in gout
  • Prevention and optimal management of chronic diseases and metabolic syndromes, cardiovascular events
Dietary changes[edit | edit source]
  • Decreased levels of meat and sea food consumption and increased intake of low fat or non fat containing dairy products decreases gout attacks, where as foods rich in purine should be limited to moderate amounts.
  • Increased dietary consumption of cherries decreases gout attacks.
  • Limiting high Fructose corn syrup intake reduces attacks of gout.
