Gout is a heterogeneous group of diseases caused by disorders of purine metabolism and/or impaired uric acid excretion in the human body, and the main clinical feature is hyperuricemia. Acute gouty arthritis is the first symptom of primary gout, which usually occurs in the lower extremities, often triggered by emotional excitement, overwork, overeating, alcoholism, etc. The onset of the disease is rapid, mostly at night with sudden onset of severe joint pain, accompanied by fever and other systemic symptoms, often involving the fingers and toes and metatarsophalangeal joints, especially the first metatarsophalangeal joint, followed by the ankle, wrist, elbow joints, etc.; the initial onset is mostly single, gradually spreading to other joints. The symptoms usually subside after 3-10 days, and can recur after several years or months.
