The four stages of gout development, see which one you are

To this day, there are still many gout patients who do not pay enough attention to gout. They think that gout is only unbearable at the time of the attack. It is okay when it hurts. It can be divided into four stages, let me take you to understand the "upgrade path" of gout.

The first stage of hyperuricemia period

During this period, patients had no clinical symptoms of gout except for rising uric acid. According to research, about one -tenth of hyperuricemia patients may eventually develop into gout, so please do not have a chance to reduce uric acid in time.

Early stage of gout

The continuous rise in uric acid will cause acute gouty arthritis attacks. Most people will be awakened in their sleep. At first, the part of the pain is often large toe. The typical symptoms are the joints of joints, hotness and swelling, and slight touch. Feel heart pain.

The third stage gout mid -term

During this period, due to the repeated acute attacks of gouty arthritis, the damaged joints and osteogenesis of the injured joints began to cause different degrees of destruction and dysfunction, forming chronic gouty arthritis. With the slowly deposition of crystals, stones were formed. The same "gout nodule".

The emergence of gout nodules means that the disease has entered a serious state, and at this time, you should go to a regular hospital in time.

The fourth stage gout late

There will be obvious joint malformations during this period, and the number of gout stones will begin to increase gradually, and the volume will increase. It is easy to break the crystals of white uric acid. The development of renal function is obvious, and uremia and kidney damage may occur.

Therefore, it is reminded to remind you of gout patients that when discovering the increasing condition, you should pay attention to and treat it in time to avoid irreversible damage to the body.
