Gout: Introduction, Causes, Symptoms, Treatments

Gout falls within the broad definition of "arthritis," which covers a range of painful joint disorders. Other varieties of arthritis do not result in joint inflammation, whereas some do. Gout is an example of inflammation-related arthritis. Uric acid crystals are to blame for the problem.

Who are at Higher Risk of developing Gout?

• Obesity or being overweight.
• Excessive blood pressure, high blood sugar, abnormal cholesterol levels, and extra body fat around the waist are all symptoms of the disorder known as metabolic syndrome.
• When the kidneys are damaged and unable to filter blood, chronic kidney disease can occur properly.
• Elevated blood pressure.
• Conditions including psoriasis, hemolytic anemia, or certain malignancies that cause the cells to divide quickly.
• In the uncommon diseases known as Kelley-Seegmiller syndrome and Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, the body either lacks or doesn't produce enough of the enzyme that controls urate levels.

• Certain medicines. Uric acid levels can also rise when using low doses of aspirin and several drugs used to treat hypertension, such as thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and beta blockers. Anti-rejection medications that are provided to organ transplant recipients can also be used.
• Gout runs in the family. There is a higher risk of developing gout if other family members have the condition.
• Sex and Age. Men are more likely to get gout than women, largely because women typically have lower uric acid levels. But after menopause, uric acid levels in women resemble those in males. Men are also more likely to get gout symptoms sooner than women, often between 30 and 50. Women typically experience these symptoms after menopause.
• Diet. Consuming foods and beverages sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose) and eating a lot of red meat and shellfish raise uric acid levels, which raise the chance of developing gout. Additionally, drinking alcohol—especially beer—raises your chances of developing gout.
• Weight. Being overweight causes the body to manufacture more uric acid and makes it harder for the kidneys to eliminate it.
• Ailment conditions. A few illnesses and conditions increase the chance of getting gout. Untreated high blood pressure and chronic illnesses, including diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and heart and renal disease, are some examples.

Gastric Symptoms

Treatments Available

• NSAIDs can decrease pain and swelling. Due to kidney disease, stomach ulcers, and other medical issues, certain people cannot use NSAIDs.
• Within 24 hours after a gout attack, people who take colchicine may experience reduced pain and inflammation. It's consumed orally.
• Corticosteroids can relieve pain and edema.

• Utilising allopurinol in tablet form.
• Taking febuxostat in tablet form.
• Intravenous administration of Pegloticase (in a vein).
• Ingesting a pill form of probenecid.
