Can gout cause fever?

Fever refers to fever. Gout can cause fever, but not in every patient.

In acute attacks, gout can cause significant redness and heat pain in the joints. This inflammatory reaction may lead to an increase in body temperature and fever. When urate crystals deposit in the joints and trigger inflammation, the body's immune system is activated to produce a series of immune reactions, including fever. Second, when gout is complicated with other infections, such as joint infections, infectious factors will cause more obvious fever, and may also be accompanied by chills, local suppuration, etc.

If the fever persists or is accompanied by other serious symptoms, seek medical attention in time for comprehensive examination and diagnosis in order to accurately handle the condition.
