How to Treat High Blood Uric Acid with Joint Pain

High blood uric acid with joint pain, may be gouty arthritis, can be anti-inflammatory analgesic and other symptomatic treatment. Gout is a disease caused by purine metabolism disorder and/or uric acid excretion disorder. When blood uric acid is high, urate crystals can be deposited in the joints and the surrounding soft tissues, triggering a localized joint inflammatory reaction and joint pain. For acute gouty arthritis, colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., diclofenac, etc.), glucocorticoid drugs (e.g., prednisone, methylprednisolone, etc.) can be used for anti-inflammatory analgesic symptomatic treatment. Acute phase is not uric acid-lowering treatment, and patients who are already taking uric acid-lowering drugs such as benzbromarone can continue to take them without stopping, so as not to cause fluctuations in blood uric acid. When the acute phase of gout is relieved, uric acid-lowering drugs can be used, such as febuxostat, allopurinol, benzbromarone, etc., and at the same time to control the diet, pay attention to the main low purine diet, drink more water. Drugs should be used in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medication. Patients with high uric acid and joint pain are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
