Resum
Gout is a chronic, metabolic, and inflammatory disease, strongly related to high concentrations of serum uric acid. It is characterized by the deposition of monosodium
urate crystals in the joint, which provokes an inflammatory process, and that is why it is
characterized as a type of arthritis. Despite it being a well-known disease and several
drugs being available for its treatment, evidence has shown that the diet plays an
important role in gout management. Therefore, the objective of this study is to
determine if proper diet control is as effective as the pharmacological treatment for
disease management. For this study, bibliographical research has been conducted using
the main scientific databases, where the most recent and relevant articles have been
selected. The research has provided information on gout basis and its causes, the actual
pharmacological treatment, and what impact the diet can have on the disease. Also, a
short interview with a patient has been carried out and compared to the research.
Overall, this study concludes that proper diet control has a similar impact in comparison
to the pharmacological treatment for gout management, especially in hyperuricemia
reduction.
