Gout Should Be Treated Properly

Gout is nothing but the inflammatory arthritis. This problem is generally seen in people over the age of 65. There are myriads of symptoms in Gout. It is advisable to pay attention to each of the symptom and get treatment in proper time so that it does not become severe. You must know the fact that any kind of swelling, severe pain and stiffness in the joint is not necessarily always Gout symptoms. In arthritis, sometimes pseudogout is confused with Gout symptoms.

Symptoms of Gout

Let’s see the different symptoms of Gout:

Frequent and severe attacks of arthritis pain

Increased level of uric acid in blood or Hyperuricemia

Swelling, redness, pain, and warmth in joint or joints

Affecting knee, ankle and other joints

Stages of Gout

Gout is found with distinguished four stages:

Asymptomatic hyperuricemia: In this stage, level of uric acid in blood gets increased. But in this stage, this is the only symptom seen. No treatment is required as such for this stage.

Acute gouty arthritis: In this stage of gout, increased level of uric acid turns into uric acid crystals. Many symptoms like pain, swelling, redness in joints etc are occurred.

Intercritical gout: In this stage, patient may find it ‘remission’ from gout as it shows no symptoms. But at this stage treatment should not be stopped. Otherwise, gout condition will become worse.

Chronic tophaceous gout: This stage develops after 10 years of suffering from gout. Patient faces problems like permanent damage of knee or more severe heath problem like kidney damage.

Diagnosis of Gout

Gout diagnosis is not easy. As symptoms like swelling, redness and pain in joints can be the symptoms for other kinds of arthritis. But lack of diagnosis can lead this problem to a severe stage. Thus, diagnosis of gout is done by taking the history of patient’s family, other health condition, smoking and drinking habit, regular diet, daily physical activity. Upon taking all the details, uric acid level in blood flow is tested.

Treatment of Gout

Panels of different doctors are involved to treat gout disease. But to ease the pain of gout, Rheumatologist helps it to cure. Then dietician comes into the picture to give proper diet chart to the gout patient. Gout patient may face problems like heart attack or other heart disease. Thus, taking cardiologist into consideration is the other option to treat gout.

When uric acid crystals are formed into the joints then chalk like nodules called trophi are also formed. These nodules hamper the regular activity of the patient. To manage this condition, Orthopedist is also important for gout treatment.
