About one-third of patients with high uric acid levels may develop intense pain and redness of joint called Gout. Gout is a type of arthritis that results from uric acid crystals formed inside or around the joint. Gout can be acute or chronic.
Other conditions that may occur due to uric acid crystals are kidney stones and uric acid associated kidney disease.High uric acid is itself associated with a higher risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease and metabolic syndrome (a combination of obesity, high blood pressure, and difficulty to control diabetes).
Medical treatment :For acute gout (joint pain)- treatment is divided into focus on relieving intense joint pain followed by prevention of future episodes with medications.
An asymptomatic high uric acid level greater than 8 mg/dl, warrants further workup, lifestyle changes, and medications.
Your doctor may consider medications such as Allopurinol, Febuxostat for the prevention of gout and lowering uric acid levels. Medications should be taken under strict medical supervision.
