Can i leave it alone after the disappear of gout joint pain? Usually, the gout joint pain in acute stage will fade away or disappear in few days or one week. Most patients will stop medicines and treatment after the disappear of gout joint pain. However, is this right?
As the serum uric acid of gout patients is higher than normal people, they are more likely to suffer from hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, stroke, thrombus, diabetes and so on.
Information showed that about 58.8% of gout patients are complicated with hypertension, 22.1% are complicated with diabetes or resistance to the sugar levels decrease, 75.5% are complicated with hyperlipidemia, 15.6% with coronary heart disease and 2.1% with cerebral infarction.
On the contrary, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other kinds of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes are also the risk factors of hyperuricemia and gout.
Besides, every flare of gout will aggravate the illness condition, making it more difficult to treatment and the prognosis will become worse. Therefore, patients can not leave it alone after the disappear of gout joint pain. Long-term systematic treatment and regulation is the key point if patients want to live a better or normal life with gout.
