Arthritis Gout

Arthritis and gout are two common diseases, which are different in etiology, symptoms, and location.

1.

The causes of arthritis are various, which may include local trauma, excessive use, cold, abnormal metabolism of joint bone, rheumatism, immune factors, etc. Gout is caused by abnormal purine metabolism in the human body, resulting in high uric acid levels.

2. Symptoms of

arthritis include joint swelling, stiffness, skin redness, limited limb movement, bone deformity, etc. The symptoms of gout are often manifested as severe pain, redness, fever, tenderness and other symptoms of the affected joints.

3. The

onset of arthritis is mainly limited to the joints, including the small joints of the limbs such as fingers, wrists, knees, etc. As the disease progresses, joint deformities may occur. Gout may occur not only in the joints, but also in the skin and kidneys outside the joints

. In short, although arthritis and gout are different, they both need to be diagnosed and treated in time to alleviate symptoms, delay disease progression and improve quality of life. Patients should follow the doctor's advice for standardized treatment and self-management.
