What are the early symptoms of high uric acid

summary

Recently, I don't feel very comfortable. My friend suggested that I go to the hospital for examination, and then take blood for test. The result is that the concentration of uric acid is a little high, and I often feel some pain in my joints. Next, I will talk about the early symptoms of high uric acid.

What are the early symptoms of high uric acid

First: asymptomatic hyperuricemia: blood test can be found that blood uric acid concentration increased, but no arthritis, hyperuricemia. Clinical symptoms such as stone or kidney stone. In this period, it is not easy to detect unless laboratory tests are done. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia. The duration of hyperuricemia is 10-20 years. Some patients may not have hyperuricemia for life.

Second: Generally speaking, the higher the serum uric acid level, the greater the risk of high uric acid. Acute hyperuricemic arthritis: can occur in all seasons, with the most in spring and autumn. Local joint injury, overeating, fatigue, cold and damp, some drugs, infection and surgery can induce acute attack. These factors can cause the supersaturated uric acid to form needle like crystals and deposit in the synovial fluid. The crystals are regarded as alien by the white blood cells in the body and are phagocytized. After being phagocytized, inflammatory factors are released, causing acute attack.

Third: gouty arthritis, the general attack site for the thumb joint, ankle joint, knee joint, etc. Some patients with long-term gout attack in the finger joint, and even the auricle with soft tissue. Acute gout attack site appear red, swollen, hot, severe pain, generally in the midnight attack, can make people wake up from sleep. In the early stage of gout, the attack is more common in the lower limbs. Gout can also cause kidney damage.
