Objective: The aim of study is to research the functional mechanism oftherapy for hyperuricuria and gouty arthritis through warming kidney andremoving blood stasis.
The underlying cause is hyperuricemia— too much uric acid in the blood, which results in the formation of sharp, needle-like crystals, in areas with slow blood flow like the joints and the kidney tubules.
Individuals with chronic gout are also at an increased risk for developing kidney stones made of uric acid, as well as urate nephropathy, which is when urate crystals deposit in the interstitium of the kidney.
Over time, repeated gouty attacks can develop into chronic gout, which is a type of arthritis with joint tissue destruction and permanent joint deformity.
The pain is most severe in the hours immediately following the attack and then generally lessens over time, but that discomfort and swelling can last for days or weeks.
Accordingly Mr. Bell wrote a letter, which Mrs. Shaw declared, with many tears, to be so like one of the dear general's when he was going to have a fit of the gout, that she should always value and preserve it.
He had gained an excellent practice, alternating, according to the season, between London and a Continental bathing-place; having written a treatise on Gout, a disease which has a good deal of wealth on its side.
I can say, from a ten years' residence with Master Epps, that no slave of his is ever likely to suffer from the gout, superinduced by excessive high living.
His bantering appeal quivered off into an uneasy laugh, and he moved still nearer, bending over Frenham, and laying his gouty hands on the lad's shoulders.
