Gout is cause by the body producing more uric acid than normal, resulting in a higher uric acid level in the blood than it should be.

Symptoms of the disease are divid into 3 stages: acute arthritis stage, usually occurs at the big toe or ankle joint, with severe pain, swelling and redness in the first 24 hours. If left untreated, it can heal on its own in 5-7 days and mostly recurs; asymptomatic stage, after the arthritis is gone, the patient will not have any symptoms เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง.
