What are the symptoms of gout? What are the symptoms of gout?

Wind is a purine metabolism disorder in the body, which causes urate precipitation in joints, soft tissues or bones, etc., with chronic reflux local pain as the main manifestation. There are several symptoms of gout, let's find out together.

Asymptomatic phase: As the name suggests, at this stage, it can be said that patients can hardly have any physical discomfort, and the only indicator that can tell that they have gout is a persistent or fluctuating increase in the level of uric acid in the blood.

Acute arthritis stage: patients often wake up in the middle of the night due to redness, swelling, heat and pain in the toes, ankles, knees, wrists, knuckles, elbows, etc. And patients will find that there is a significant impairment in the normal function of these joints.

When the body temperature is measured, it is found that there is an increase in temperature.

Tophi and chronic arthritis: The affected joints will be swollen, stiff, deformed, like stones, asymmetrical, and inconsistent in size. It is more common in the contours of the ears, toes, between the fingers, etc.

Renal lesions: More than 90% of gout patients are accompanied by renal lesions, which manifest as occasional proteinuria in the early stage, and with the aggravation of the disease, it will change to persistent proteinuria, increase the number of nights, and then develop renal insufficiency, and even death due to kidney failure.

About 20% of gout patients will have uric acid urinary tract stones, if not in time**, when the stones repeatedly cause damage, there is a possibility of infection, causing nephritis, causing further damage to the kidneys. It can be said that the damage caused by this lesion to the human body is quite serious.

Hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome: Patients with hyperuricemia often have metabolic syndromes such as diabetes and coronary heart disease, and gout will aggravate the degree of atherosclerosis, which greatly increases the risk of myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases in gout patients.

The symptoms of gout are:

1. Sudden severe joint pain, usually located in the thumb or joint, sometimes in the knee joint.

2. Red, swollen and warm joints.

3. Severe cases will have chills and fever.

4. Symptoms often flare up and reverse, but generally last no more than a week.

Gout-related symptoms during acute attacks: Attacks usually occur in the second half of the night. The symptoms of gout at this stage are pain, swelling, redness in the ankle or toe joints, arms and finger joints, accompanied by severe pain.

Microscopic observation reveals pine needle-like urate precipitation in the affected tissue. It is a severe pain caused by urate precipitation. Please note that the uric acid level in the blood at the onset of the disease is lower than the usual maximum due to the formation of precipitate, which is also the main symptom of gout.

Gout-related symptoms in the intermittent phase: The main manifestation of gout symptoms at this stage is high blood uric acid concentration. The so-called intermittent period refers to the interval between the two episodes of gout, which is usually a few months to a year.

If there is no uric acid-lowering method, the attacks will be frequent, the pain will be aggravated, and the course of the disease will be prolonged.

Gout-related symptoms in the chronic phase: The main manifestations of gout symptoms in this stage are the presence of tophi, chronic arthritis, uric acid stones, gouty nephritis and complications. At this time, gout attacks are frequent, and tophi begin to appear in the body parts, and with the extension of time, the tophi gradually becomes larger, and understanding the main symptoms of gout can help everyone get rid of the disease in time.

The occurrence of gout can cause the following symptoms: 1. Arthritis, common redness, swelling, heat and pain in the affected joints, and even impaired mobility, most often involving the first metatarsophalangeal joint, followed by the heel and ankle joint. 2. The onset is abrupt and accompanied by severe pain at night, mostly unilateral, and occasionally bilateral.

3. There will be symptoms of fever and increased white blood cells.

The symptoms of gout include: 1. There are no obvious symptoms in the hyperuricemia stage; 2. In the stage of acute gouty arthritis, joint swelling, severe pain, redness and increased skin temperature appear; 3. In the stage of chronic arthritis, tophi is formed, which leads to joint stiffness and limited mobility, causing acute and chronic uric acid nephropathy, which is manifested as proteinuria or intermittent microscopic hematuria in the early stage, causing renal failure and even uremia; 4. Uric acid stones, causing renal colic, urinary tract obstruction, hydronephrosis, etc.

Patients with gout often have sudden severe pain in one or more joints, which is more common than sudden onset at night, and also has redness, swelling, increased skin temperature, and red and purple on the joint surface, tension, and shinyness.

The first few episodes usually involve only one joint, last a few days, usually resolve spontaneously within 2 weeks, and then disappear completely. However, if the condition worsens and is not active after the attack**, it will lead to more frequent attacks that can affect multiple joints for up to 3 weeks or more.

Reverse action can lead to exacerbation of gout and chronic development, resulting in deformity of diseased joints. Finally, joint mobility is progressively limited due to the deposition of urate crystals around the joints and tendons, causing damage.

Gout is more contraindicated in the daily diet of high-purine foods, beer, fried foods. For example, try to eat meat and not drink soup in stewed broth, because the purines in the soup are quite high, and there are also those who quit drinking and smoking, and don't eat fried food. In the case of acute attack of gout, although drinking water cannot directly improve joint symptoms, drinking water, especially drinking Fengcao tea, is the easiest and most effective way to promote the dissolution and excretion of uric acid, which can be excreted with urine, which can reduce its deposition in the joints, reduce the probability of the natural immune system being reactivated, and the possibility of aggravation of gouty arthritis.

Drink two sachets a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, for 1-3 cycles.

It can be mitigated from the following 5 aspects.

Apply ice. Ice cubes have a paralyzing and pain-relieving effect. During a gout attack, you can apply ice to the affected area with a towel or sponge for 20 minutes. Be careful not to apply hot compresses or soak your feet in hot water, as rising temperatures can aggravate inflammation, aggravate edema, and worsen pain.

Stay in bed and elevate the affected area. In an acute attack of gout, it is best to lie down and rest, raise your legs, and put a pillow underneath to facilitate venous blood return and reduce pain.

Drink plenty of water. In acute pain, the patient should drink plenty of fluids. Drink more than 2000 ml of water per day to help excrete uric acid.

Soak your feet in Epsom salt. Epsom salt, also known as magnesium sulfate, has the effects of sedation, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and swelling. Patients with gout can apply magnesium sulfate to the sore area with water. However, if there is a ulcer in the gout area, it cannot be used.

Drugs**. During gout attacks, colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and if necessary, corticosteroids and other drugs can be used to relieve pain.

The key to rapid pain relief is to cure the root cause. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to nutrition and be regular, and reduce the intake of high-purine foods. Exercise more to improve the body's metabolism, excrete excess uric acid, and maintain the balance of uric acid.

The clinical manifestations of gout are first of all acute gout, its manifestations are mainly redness, swelling, heat and pain of the joints, usually the joints are a single joint onset, not many joints are affected at the same time, and usually the onset is more urgent, suddenly this symptom will attack, especially at night is more common, and the patient's joint symptoms will be very severe, the patient will have very intense pain, unbearable. There is also an acute gout attack, which is usually an asymmetrical joint symptom that usually does not appear on the left side, but also on the right side. In addition, the most commonly affected joint is the first metatarsophalangeal joint, which is the joint under the big toe that people say, which is the first metatarsophalangeal joint.

When gout attacks, you can see that the redness, swelling, heat, and pain of the joints are very obvious, and even some patients will have fever, which is a symptom of acute gout, and after the symptoms of acute gout appear, he may last for a few days, and the longest may not exceed 2 weeks to get better. Some patients may get better after taking medication, and some patients may just be cured by themselves without medication, which is usually some of the manifestations of gout at the beginning. When gout reverses and becomes a chronic gouty arthritis, its symptoms can last for a long time, and the symptoms of the joints do not subside, in addition, multiple joints in the body can be affected, and large joints and small joints can be affected.

Bilateral symmetrical arthritis can also occur.

Ventilation initially caused gout to have a very acute onset, and it is easy to attack at night, and it usually begins with a single joint involvement, and it is still very painful. In addition, you can see obvious redness and swelling in the joint, your body temperature is high and hot to the touch, and if the gout has been attacked for a long time, you don't care about it for several years, and you still eat it, then at this time, the symptoms of its joints may become more and more frequent. And the duration of its attacks is getting longer and longer.

The symptoms of gout are generally joint pain, or pain in the joints of the feet or legs, limping when walking, like pins and needles.

Symptoms of gout include pain in one or more joints that occurs acutely at night. It is often progressively worse, with severe pain, local swelling, warmth, redness, and marked tenderness. Local** nervous, hot, shiny, dark red or purplish red in appearance.

Metatarsophalangeal involvement of the big toe is most common, as are the arches, ankles, knees, wrists, and elbows.

Acute arthritis is a very obvious symptom of gout, this disease mainly occurs in the patient's ankle, hand, wrist, knee, elbow and some joints of the foot, and it is very painful at the time of the onset of the patient, most patients will mainly show redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joint, and the movement of the joint will be limited to a certain extent.

Gout is a kind of episodic first metatarsophalangeal nodule, which is mainly red, swollen, painful, and painful. The onset of arthritis is relatively sudden, and it can be caused by exertion, cold, and diet.

Acute single or multi-joint pain that often occurs at night is usually the first symptom, the pain is progressively aggravated, with severe pain, signs similar to acute infection, swelling, local fever, red and bright dust showing tenderness, etc., local ** tension, this song is hot, shiny, dark red or purple-red appearance, the metatarsophalangeal joint of the big toe is most commonly involved, and the arch, ankle, knee, wrist and elbow joints are also common disease sites
