[Medical animation: How is gout formed? ]#Can drinking soda water prevent gout#? “The pain is unbearable, coming and going like the wind”, this is the symptom of gout. At present, it is relatively confirmed that hyperuricemia is one of the causes of gout. Uric acid is a metabolite of purine and has no physiological role in the human body. Under normal circumstances, 2/3 of the uric acid produced in the body is excreted by the kidneys, and 1/3 is excreted from the intestines. When the human body has a metabolic disorder, which leads to an increase in the synthesis of uric acid or a decrease in the excretion of uric acid, it will cause hyperuricemia, which will lead to gout.
