Symptoms of high uric acid

First of all, sometimes it can be asymptomatic, blood tests can find that the blood uric acid concentration increased, but did not appear arthritis, high uric acid, stone or kidney stones and other clinical symptoms. In this period, it is not easy to detect unless laboratory tests are done. Asymptomatic hyperuricemia can last for 10 to 20 years. Some patients may not have hyperuricemia for life. Generally speaking, the higher the serum uric acid level, the greater the risk of high uric acid.

Secondly, uric acid is high. If it is serious, it will cause joint pain. It can occur in all seasons, especially 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.

Finally, if the uric acid is found to be high and not controlled, the general attack site is 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.
