Kidney pain in gout patients may be due to kidney involvement, which needs to be further clarified and targeted medication and other treatments.
The deposition of urate crystals in the kidneys can cause gouty nephropathy, which includes acute uric acid nephropathy, urate stones and urate nephropathy. All three types of lesions can lead to pain in the kidney area, among which the pain caused by urate stones is relatively obvious.
When gout causes kidney pain, the corresponding treatment should be chosen according to the specific type of lesion, for example, smaller urate stones can be dissolved by taking benzbromarone, febuxostat, etc., while larger stones or stones that have already led to obstruction need to undergo extracorporeal ultrasonic lithotripsy, and at the same time, nephrotoxic drugs should be avoided as much as possible.
Drugs should be used under the guidance of a physician, and patients with gout-induced kidney pain are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals for detailed consultation and treatment in accordance with the doctor’s instructions.
