Gout progresses through four stages: asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gout attack, intercritical or interval gout, and chronic tophaceous gout. The disease begins with elevated uric acid levels without symptoms, followed by painful flare-ups, symptom-free periods between attacks, and finally chronic joint damage with tophi formation if untreated.

‼️GOUT TOPHI‼️Tophi are a symptom of gout, a condition where uric acid crystallizes in joints like those in your feet and hands. Gout can cause episodes of severe pain called gout attacks. Without treatment, gout can become a chronic condition and increase your risk of developing tophi and joint damage. #lifestylechange #lowcarb #fastingforhealth #activelifestyle | Dr. Brian Aubrey Castillo
