Abstract
Gout, a chronic inflammatory condition, is intricately linked to lifestyle factors such as diet and alcohol consumption. Alcohol significantly influences gout development and flares through mechanisms including hyperuricemia, oxidative stress, and purine metabolism. The impact of alcohol varies by type and quantity, with beer and spirits posing a higher risk due to their purine and ethanol content, while moderate wine consumption may confer potential anti-inflammatory benefits. Recent advances underscore the multifactorial nature of gout, revealing how host genetics and epigenetic modifications modulate alcohol's effects. Variants in genes regulating urate transport (SLC2A9, ABCG2) and alcohol metabolism (ADH1B, ALDH2) influence individual susceptibility, highlighting the need for personalized management strategies. This narrative review synthesizes evidence from genetics, lifestyle, and public health perspectives, emphasizing the importance of moderation, pharmacogenomics, and tailored interventions in improving gout outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases (formerly APLAR Journal of Rheumatology) is the official journal of the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology. The Journal accepts original articles on clinical or experimental research pertinent to the rheumatic diseases, work on connective tissue diseases and other immune and allergic disorders. The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the Editor.
