Infusion treatment for gout

However, many people will have gout problems in their lives to a greater or lesser extent. Gout does have a great impact on our lives. First of all, gout is mainly treated through oral medications. There is no shortcut to gout treatment. It can only be adjusted slowly. Also, pay attention to the precautions of patients in daily life. Try not to eat foods that are prone to gout, and pay attention to changing your living habits. Gout patients do not need infusion treatment because there is currently no treatment fluid.

Infusion therapy for gout

Currently, gout is mainly treated with oral medications. There is currently no fluid available to treat gout, which means that the treatment of gout through infusion is very limited.

Drugs for the treatment of gout include purine-control drugs and anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs. Drugs that control purines include drugs that reduce uric acid synthesis and drugs that increase uric acid excretion. Commonly used ones include allopurinol tablets, Bianhuangshu tablets, and Febuxostat, all of which are taken orally.

The most commonly used anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as colchicine and glucocorticoids, most of which are also taken orally. If the patient cannot take oral medications for other reasons, anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment can also be achieved through intravenous infusion of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or intravenous administration of corticosteroids for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment.

Symptoms and signs

Acute onset of joint pain is a typical symptom of acute gout. The disease often occurs after minor injuries, overeating or related diseases, and is particularly prone to occur in the distal joints of the limbs. Typical symptoms occur in the toes (foot gout). Urate stones can also cause renal colic. Chronic gout is characterized by destructive joint changes.

Skin symptoms: In about half of cases, urate is deposited under the skin. These nodules are called gouty nodules or tophi. Gout stones often appear as white or pearly nodules (gout pearls) and occur on free curved skin edges (such as the auricle). Other characteristic symptoms of tophi are white or yellow nodules on the finger (toe) joints. Urate deposits in the skin.

Round stones may be visible through thinning skin, and they may rupture. Gout nodules near joints tend to occur in groups or fuse. Tophi occur after an acute attack and are painless. If the skin is broken, a white lime-like substance may be released. Microscopic examination shows a carcinogenic mixture of bundles of needle-like substances, which are identified as sodium urate.
