The cause of gouty synovitis is not clear, generally related to abnormal purine metabolism.
If the patient has gout, purine metabolism in the body will be abnormal, so that uric acid levels rise, forming urate crystals, when a large number of crystals deposited in the synovial joint site, causing local stimulation, will cause inflammatory reactions, joint redness, pain and other symptoms, namely gouty synovitis.
Patients with gouty synovitis should follow the doctor's advice to take benzbromarone tablets, probenecid tablets, febuxostat tablets and other drugs, help reduce uric acid levels in the body, promote recovery.
