Intestinal tract is the largest immune organ of human body where hundreds of millions of microorganisms are colonized which are called intestinal flora. Each intestinal flora checks and balances each other, depends on and complements each other, and forms a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the host. Changes in quantity and type of intestinal flora will cause the imbalance of intestinal microecology, affect the systemic immune function through immune regulation, and then affect the progress of the disease. At present, it has been found that intestinal microecology is closely related to rheumatic immune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, ankylosing spondylitis, gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Taking intestinal flora as the starting point to explore the pathogenesis of gout has become a new research hotspot. Based on the current research, the relevant literature was consulted in present paper, and the intestinal microecological composition and function, the structural characteristics of intestinal flora in patients with gout, the mechanism of intestinal flora in the pathogenesis of gout, and the treatment of probiotics, traditional Chinese medicine and fecal microbial transplantation were reviewed, in order to provide new ideas and directions for prevention and treatment of gout in the future.
