Gout & Uric Acid

نقرس اور یورک ایسڈ

Sudden severe big-toe attacks, and long-term uric acid control.

About this condition

Gout announces itself with sudden, severe pain in a single joint — classically the big toe — often at night. Beyond the acute attack, treatment concentrates on lowering uric acid through diet and on the kidney function, blood pressure and weight that travel with it, since repeated attacks damage the joint permanently.

Symptoms we see

  • Sudden severe pain in the big toe
  • Red, hot, swollen joint
  • Attacks often starting at night
  • Unable to bear even bedsheet touch
  • Raised uric acid on testing
  • Lumps near joints or ear

Not every patient has every symptom — and the combination present is precisely what determines the remedy.
