Gouty arthritis arthritis treatment: how to be handled?

Gout is characterized by elevated levels of uric acid (UA) in the blood of the common metabolic disease. This is either as a result of the inability to excrete (get rid of) the UA or overproducing. In any case, what happens is, monosodium urate form within the joints of deposits and other bodies, in particular the kidneys, which are responsible for excreting large organ UA.

At a certain point in time, if a critical enough of the UA is built, gouty arthritis (GA) the attack takes place. GA, as a general rule, have joint or joints in the foot, the ankle or the knee with the foot, preferably in the attack. The attacks usually occur early in the morning, awaking, often the patient's sleep. Pain intensity is based on, and is accompanied by swelling, redness, and heat to the public. Discomfort is so severe that the patient may complain that even "the weight of the bedsheet" vulnerability in the cause unbearable pain.

The GA process is divided into General, acute and chronic disease in the attack.

Multiple options are available, and what avenue for a decision depends on a variety of factors, including, attack, duration, location of the attack, the second in the process area (ie, infection) the possibility of the presence of co-morbid conditions and other diseases, a patient is that could possibly affect the treatment of the intervention.

Medicinal products, which are treated with, Supplement, rest with the ice because ice can be useful to reduce the inflammation.

Steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (AINS) are the most commonly used for the treatment of acute attacks. Unfortunately, these medicines, there are many possible side effects, including stomach ulcers, kidney damage, blood pressure and the risk of deterioration of the heart and line. Should be avoided in patients on blood thinners. Older workers for their use should be monitored carefully and, as far as possible, be avoided.

Colchicine is a time honored the medication that helps prevent Gout inflammation. Small doses of 0.6, two-three times per day in the mgs for 1-2 days off the attack. Colchicine has side effects that limit their use. These include Stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and muscle damage to bone marrow suppression, as well as the neurologic. It should not be used to pay for the patients or the kidneys.

Glucocorticoids ("Cortisone") can give directly to the common, where only one or two, or the direction or intramuscularly. Glucocorticoids are a good option when the AINS and colchicine can not be used.

By using biologic therapy for prevention of Interleukin-1 is a new concept in the treatment of acute Gout attacks. It is very effective, but the repayment is very expensive.
