Abstract
AbstractGout and hyperuricemia are common metabolic diseases. Patients with purine metabolism disorder and/or decreased uric acid excretion showed increased uric acid levels in the blood. The increase of uric acid in the blood leads to the deposition of urate crystals in tissues, joints, and kidneys, and causes gout. Recent studies have revealed that imbalance of the intestinal microecology is closely related to the occurrence and development of hyperuricemia and gout. Disorder of the intestinal flora often occurs in patients with gout, and high purine and high fructose may induce the disorder of intestinal flora. Short‐chain fatty acids and endotoxins produced by intestinal bacteria are closely related to the inflammatory response of gout. This article summarizes the characteristics of intestinal microecology in patients or animal models with hyperuricemia or gout, and explores the relationship between intestinal microecology and gout or hyperuricemia from the aspect of the intestinal barrier, intestinal microorganisms, intestinal metabolites, and intestinal immune system. We also review the current status of hyperuricemia treatment by targeting intestinal microecology.
