What are the symptoms of gout in the early stages

The early stage of gout is also known as the asymptomatic hyperuricemia period, during which there are no obvious symptoms, and some patients have joint pain, redness, swelling, fever and other manifestations. 1. Asymptomatic period: only fluctuating or persistent hyperuricemia, from the increase of blood uric acid to the emergence of symptoms can be up to a few years, and some can be lifelong asymptomatic. 2. Joint pain: most of the single joints are involved, and the first metatarsophalangeal joints are commonly affected by sudden and severe pain. This often occurs after eating a lot of seafood, animal offal and other high-purine foods. 3. Redness and swelling of joints: the affected joints will be red and swollen acutely due to local inflammation, and the movement of the joints will be obviously restricted. 4. Fever: the patient’s body temperature rises, during which there is a generalized fear of cold, pale lips and other manifestations. If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and actively treat under the guidance of the doctor to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
