Acute Gouty Arthritis
Acute gouty arthritis, known as a gout attack, is an intense, sudden joint inflammation caused by the deposit of uric acid crystals within a joint.
Common symptoms: Sudden, severe pain, redness, warmth, and swelling, frequently in the big toe, although it can affect other joints; the episodes usually appear at night.
Common causes: High levels of uric acid in the blood, influenced by hereditary factors, diet, alcohol consumption, and other health conditions.
Which specialist treats it? The rheumatologist is the professional indicated to evaluate gout, with support from the internist or the general practitioner in the initial care. If you have an episode of intense, sudden joint pain, it is worth reviewing it with a professional to understand what triggers it.
