Symptoms of gout

In general, patients in this period often show swelling, heat and pain in the middle of the night because of toes, ankles, knees, wrists, fingers, elbows and other joints. At the same time, the normal function of these joints will also appear obvious obstacles. There will be symptoms of temperature rise when measuring body temperature.

The joint will appear swelling, stiffness, deformity performance, just like a stone, asymmetric, different sizes. Most of them appear in the ear contour, toes, fingers and other places. This kind of gout often occurs in myeloproliferative diseases, such as acute and chronic leukemia, polycythemia, multiple myeloma, hemolytic anemia, lymphoma and many kinds of cancer. During chemotherapy, uric acid is produced too much due to the large amount of nucleic acid decomposition in cells, or in the late stage of renal disease, hypertension and arteriosclerosis, uric acid excretion is difficult due to renal failure, resulting in increased blood uric acid. The blood uric acid concentration of patients with secondary gout is often higher than that of primary gout, and the incidence of urinary calculi is also high, but the joint symptoms are not as typical as those of primary gout, and most of them are covered by primary gout, which is not easy to be found.

In general, 90% of gout patients are accompanied with renal lesions. The early symptoms are mostly sporadic proteinuria. With the aggravation of the disease, it will turn into persistent proteinuria. The number of nighttime rising will increase, and the continuous development will lead to renal insufficiency, and even death due to renal failure.
