Gout treatment in the sanatorium of Essentuki city

Metabolic disorders of protein (purine) metabolism in the body can lead to a disease such as gout. Gouty arthritis affects finger, elbow, hand and knee joints and is characterized by periodic acute attacks of pain. The reason for the development of inflammatory processes in joints is deposition of salt crystals (urates) in joint capsules as a result of an increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood.

Drugs have a temporary effect during attacks of gouty arthritis, and for a significant improvement in the condition, an integrated approach is needed, including health treatment in corresponding profile sanatoriums. Periodic courses of gout treatment in the Essentuki city sanatorium “Kazakhstan” will help reduce the intensity of attacks and achieve a significant increase in remission periods. Correction of nutrition, lifestyle and a set of individually selected procedures contribute to the normalization of protein metabolism, prevention of the formation of uric acid crystals, and a gradual decrease in the inflammatory process.
