The distinction between rheumatoid arthritis and gout is as follows: First, from the top of the symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis is dominated by chronic pain in the joints, while the pain of gout is dominated by sudden attacks, and patients with gout have intermittent periods of joint pain, which means that the joints have completely pain-free time. Second, for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there will be continuous joint pain, and often the hands are mainly symmetrical small joints, while the best part of the gout is the inner side of the big toe joint of the foot. In addition to clinical symptoms, patients with rheumatoid arthritis will have a positive rheumatoid factor, as well as increased blood sedimentation and C-reactive protein. For patients with gout, elevated blood uric acid is the main test.
