2. The harm of foot pain

Patients with foot pain need active treatment. If not treated correctly, it will cause:

1. Joint disability: Repeated attacks can lead to chronic gouty arthritis. The attacks will become more frequent, the pain will gradually intensify, and the intervals will shorten. The commonly affected joints are the elbows, knees, and ankles. Severe patients may be affected in the shoulders, hips, and spine. These can easily cause joint deformity and damage, leading to joint disability.

2. The hazards of gout include damage to the kidneys: urate deposits in the kidneys cause kidney disease, which manifests in three forms: chronic uric acid (uric acid nephropathy, gouty nephropathy, gouty interstitial nephritis), acute uric acid nephropathy (renal tubular uric acid deposition), and uric acid kidney stone formation. According to WHO statistics, 1/4 of gout patients will experience renal failure and develop severe uremia.
