#Gout: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Also called gouty arthritis gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the body.
The painful flare-ups may be concentrated in the big toe (a symptom known as podagra) as well as swelling and pain in the ankles knees feet wrists or elbows.
Left untreated gout can cause permanent damage to joints and kidneys according to the National institutes of health (NIH.
Gout is seen most commonly in men particularly those between the ages of 40 and 50.
Six million adults age 20 and older have reported being diagnosed with gout according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases (NIAMS.
Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis. It is caused by an elevation of serum uric acid levels that cause crystals to accumulate in the joints
which bring on a gout flare Dr. N. Lawrence Edwards professor of medicine rheumatology and clinical immunology at the University of Florida and chairman and CEO of the Gout & Uric acid Education Society told Live Science.
Uric acid is created a waste product during the normal breakdown of purines naturally occurring substances found in foods such as liver mushrooms anchovies mackerel and dried beans according to the NIAMS.
Deposits of the needle-like urate crystals are responsible for the inflammation and the painful symptoms of gout.
There are several factors that can make a person more susceptible to gout according to the NIH.
According to the Mayo Clinic common symptoms of gout are: Gout and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) both cause bumpy painful joints but they couldn't be more different.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks itself causing damage to tissue
and organs while gout has nothing to do with the immune system. Unfortunately when chronic it can involve many joints making it difficult to distinguish from rheumatoid arthritis Dr. Nathan Wei a rheumatologist
However a few patients may have concomitant RA and gout. Gout and pseudogout closely resemble each other but they each have very different characteristics.
The amount of pain suffered by a patient with pseudogout is usually less than is experienced by a gout patient Edwards said.
The main difference between gout and pseudogout are the types of crystals that deposit into the joints and cause inflammation.
Edwards went on to point out that monosodium urate (MSU) crystals cause gout while pseudogout is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
While gout has painful and distinctive symptoms during flare-ups its symptoms can be vague during other times.
A doctor may extract a sample of joint fluid so it can be examined under a microscope for any presence of urate crystals according to the NIAMS.
Certain joint infections can produce symptoms similar to gout. If an infection is suspected the doctor may check joint fluid for bacteria.
because some gout patients do not have an unusual level of uric acid in their blood
and some people with high levels of uric acid do not go on to develop gout. A patient s gout will not get better until they start taking uric-acid-lowering drugs.
Patients need to know that their serum uric acid level should be below the target of 6 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl.
While gout cannot be cured it can be managed better or even controlled completely with the right medications
In most cases long-term medications for lowering uric acid will be used to treat gout and prevent flares gout.
Generally patients with gout will need to be on these drugs for life. If they stay on them over time their gout symptoms
and risk of deformity or disability will be decreased greatly Edwards added. The painful symptoms of gout can be alleviated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
which can reduce both pain and inflammation around the joints according to the University of Maryland.
Depending on the severity of the flare-ups patients can be treated with over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) or with prescription-strength painkillers such as indomethacin (available under the trade name Indocin.
Another pain reliever commonly used to reduce gout pain is colchicine. It is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours of symptoms according to NIAMS.
