What symptom is gout excuse me?

summary

Our body produces 750 mg of uric acid a day. Most of the uric acid comes from our body and is metabolized by the uric acid metabolism pool. But if there is a problem with these metabolic pools, the uric acid in the body will increase, resulting in hyperuricemia and gout. The figure below is a picture of a gout patient's foot. This symptom is relatively mild. What symptoms will gout patients have? Now let's listen to me in detail.

What symptom is gout excuse me?

Joint pain: the first attack of gout, often sudden sharp pain in a single joint, common in the big toe. Subsequent episodes may involve multiple joints, such as the ankle, knee, wrist, and elbow. Pain often occurs during sleep at night without any symptoms, or after excessive drinking.

Swelling of the joint: pain increases gradually and is often described as throbbing or tenderness. Then inflammation occurs, and the affected joints are red, swollen, hot, and painful. This is one of the early symptoms of gout. Sometimes, the pain is so severe that the patient can't even bear the weight of the joint.

Other symptoms: in addition to joint swelling and pain, other symptoms of gout patients include fever, rapid heartbeat, chills, and general discomfort. The uric acid deposited in the skin is called gout stone, which is a white nodule under the skin. It mostly appears in the hands, feet, elbows, and external ear.

matters needing attention

Drinking more water and less soup, patients with high blood uric acid and gout should drink more boiled water, less broth, fish soup, chicken soup, hot pot soup, etc. The osmotic pressure of boiled water is most conducive to the dissolution of various harmful substances in the body. Drinking more boiled water can dilute uric acid, accelerate the excretion, and reduce the level of uric acid. The soup contains a lot of purine components, which can not dilute uric acid, but lead to the increase of uric acid.
