Uric acid is not high why gout is swollen

The uric acid is not high. Gout is swollen due to uric acid deposition in joints, drug effects, and other causes of arthritis.

1.

When gout is acute, uric acid deposition in joints is mainly deposited in soft tissues and joints. The uric acid level in the blood fluctuates little, so the symptoms of uric acid are not high but joint pain appear.

2. Drug effects

If the patient has just taken drugs to reduce uric acid, the uric acid level is reduced, so when gout is acute, the uric acid level is not high.

3. Other arthritis

If the patient has other arthritis, such as infectious arthritis, osteoarthritis, etc., it can be manifested as joint pain, but the uric acid level is not high.
