Symptoms of Uric Acid Disease

Signs and symptoms of people affected by uric acid disease - joints that suddenly feel such pain exactly on the joint of the big toe, are one of the symptoms of uric acid in general. In addition, uric acid is often very difficult to walk because of the pain that has occurred.


Although it can appear every time, but most of the symptoms are felt at night. In addition to some of the symptoms mentioned above, other symptoms of gout can also be felt as below:

1. The presence of edema both inside and in the joints that have experienced inflammation. 
2. In the upper part of the skin, the joints begin to turn red and glossy. 
3. To experience pain and irresistible, especially when the joint touched any object, even if it touches the blanket. 
4. When the inflammation in the joints subsided, the skin in the area will look flaky and itchy. 
5. Joints will also often be attacked by gout disease. 

The joints that are at the extremity end are sensitive to uric acid, especially on the thumb. And the attacks in this section were first tested in about 70% of patients, and most of them also feel pain at some points of the big toe.


Therefore, gout disease can attack any part of the joint and can attack not only one joint at a time, especially if it is not treated immediately. Not just the thumb, joints are prone to uric acid attacks, such as the following joints:

1. Ankle joints. Joints of the middle leg. 
2. Knee joints. 
3. Wrist joints. 
4. Finger. 
5. Elbow joint. 

About six out of ten sufferers may suffer repeated attacks within a year. Although the patient experienced a relapse every week, a month, even a year, but the occurrence of uric acid is very difficult to predict.
As a rule, the symptoms will develop rapidly within a few hours and last from three to ten days. After that, you will feel that the pain and discomfort in the joints can gradually disappear, and then the joints can be normal again.
There are some sufferers who will only feel a gout attack only a few times in their life. But for most other patients with uric acid, attacks can increase over time, but they can also attack new joints.
In addition, despite the fact that the pain of uric acid has disappeared, you should consult a doctor because uric acid attacks can sometimes occur again in the future, and if they are not immediately treated, this can lead to more serious damage to the joints.
If the symptoms that you feel are the first experience for you, then ask your doctor about the reliability of the diagnosis, because other diseases, such as joint infection, also have symptoms similar to arthritic arthritis.

Symptoms of uric acid disease 

For those who have experienced one of the above symptoms, you can expect that the initial symptoms of uric acid will not spread or spread on the grounds that the situation is worse.
If symptoms or early signs of uric acid are not immediately treated, you can make the initial symptoms turn back into more chronic symptoms. In addition, the symptoms that were chronic, of course, were more difficult for you when treating uric acid.
What you should notice is the initial symptoms of uric acid if you feel lonely, although you do not spend the costly medical examinations at the hospital. Therefore, if one of the following symptoms you experienced, then immediately do preventive maintenance with a healthy life with exercise and diet.


Alokesehatan will discuss symptoms of uric acid, which are very characteristic and have three stages below:

Symptoms and Symptoms First Stage 

At the first stage also called acute gouty arthritis and is called acute inflammation of uric acid. At this stage, the patient may experience a typical attack of arthritis, and the attack may disappear even without treatment after 7 days. For a very rapid disappearance, causing the patient to often suspect whether stretching or leg infection is associated, if you do not have symptoms of the disease, if you do not perform regular checks.

But doctors who usually treat, do not even suspect that at this early stage the patient had gout attacked. Because in the first attack there are so few and even heals oneself. But in fact, untreated uric acid attacks in the first stage will also disappear by themselves.

After the first attack, intercritical gout will be introduced. In such circumstances, the patient is in good condition for a certain period of time. In addition, the period of time with others does not match. There is only one year, even up to 10 years, but an average of 1 to 2 years. And the length of time at this stage will make a person forget, if he experienced the first attack, had nothing to do with the symptoms of gout.

Signs and symptoms of the second phase 

Further symptoms with the second stage caused intermittent acute arthritis. Passing through the stage of intercritical gout for years without any significant symptoms, the patient can enter this stage, characterized by a very typical arthritic or inflammatory attack.

Then the patient becomes a frequent relapse within the distance between the attack against the attack, different from that which is longer than the meeting time and longer, in addition, the attacks will increase and longer, even the number of joints that will be attacked also more and more. In addition, signs and symptoms of gout disease in the second stage of new patients will be known if it has been exposed to gout diseases. In addition, processing at the second stage will be more difficult than at the first stage.

Symptoms and symptoms of the third phase 

In addition to the symptoms of uric acid disease in the third stage also called chronic arthritis gout berthurus. In this case, the disease occurs within 10 years and even more. At this stage, there are also blows around the joints and are often inflamed or called tofus.
The so-called tofus is a solid piece and contains a calcareous powder, comprising the precipitation of crystalline monosodium urate. In addition, tofus can damage the joints and bones around it. Although the tofus on the leg, if the size is large, and many of them force the patient not to use shoes, all include symptoms of gout disease.
