杨医生：痛风是一组嘌呤代谢紊乱性异种基因病。由于尿酸盐晶体存积在关节周围、关节内和皮肤中，引起高尿酸血症、关节炎和痛风结节。原发性痛风的高尿酸血症与尿酸过量产生，或肾脏排泄减少有关，而在继发性痛风，它是由于嘌呤生物合成增加，随之而来尿酸过量产生，目前已知后者是下列疾病的并发症：慢性白血病、髓性增生病、真性红细胞增多症及广泛的寻常型银屑病。
Dr. Yang: Gout is a group of heterogeneous genetic diseases with disordered purine metabolism. Because the urate crystals accumulate around the joints, in the joints and in the skin, it causes hyperuricemia, arthritis and gout nodules. Hyperuricemia in primary gout is related to overproduction of uric acid or decreased renal excretion. In secondary gout, it is due to increased purine biosynthesis, followed by overproduction of uric acid. The latter is currently known as the following diseases complications: chronic leukemia, myeloid hyperplasia, polycythemia vera and widespread psoriasis vulgaris.
关节疼痛急性发作是急性痛风的典型症状。疾病发作多在轻微损伤、饮食过量或相关疾病以后，特别好发于肢体远端关节，典型的症状发于足趾，也叫做足痛风；也可因尿酸盐结石引起肾绞痛。慢性痛风以破坏性关节变化为特征。
Acute attacks of join pain are typical symptoms of acute gout. The onset of the disease usually occurs after minor injuries, overeating or related diseases, especially in the distal joints of the limbs. The typical symptoms occur in the toes, also called foot gout; it can also cause renal colic due to urate stones. Chronic gout is characterized by destructive join changes.
皮肤症状上面，约有二分之一的病例，有尿酸盐沉积于皮下，这些结节被称为痛风结节或痛风石。痛风石常呈白色或珍珠色结节，发生于游离弧形的皮肤边缘如耳廓部。痛风石另外的特征性症状是，指（趾）关节白色或黄色的结节。痛风石在急性发作后产生，无痛。原发性皮肤痛风痛风石的发生先于痛风性关节炎的出现数年。
Above skin symptoms, in about one-half of cases, urate is deposited under the skin. These nodules are called gout nodules or tophi. Tophi are often white or pearl-colored nodules, which occur on the edge of the free curved skin such as the auricle. Another characteristic symptom of tophi is the white or yellow nodules in the finger (toe) joint. Tophi is produced after an acute attack and is painless. The occurrence of primary skin gout tophus recedes the appearance of gouty arthritis several years.
治疗上西医一般切除影响功能活动的痛风结节，并进行系统治疗。急性痛风发作，主张卧床休息，并用秋水仙素，剂量每小时0.5微克，直到疼痛缓解或腹泻发生，还可以用止痛剂，如吲哚美辛，剂量每天100微克，每天连用两到三天。对于慢性痛风，主张低嘌呤饮食，长期应用羧（suo）苯磺胺，剂量每天一到两克，以增加肾脏尿酸排泄，还可以用小苏打等。西医药物治疗同时，还主张减肥以减轻体重。
Western medicine generally removes gout nodules that affect functional activities and performs systemic treatment. For acute gout attacks, it is recommended to rest in bed, and colchicine is used at a dose of 0.5 micrograms per hour until the pain is relieved or diarrhea occurs. Analgesics such as indomethacin can also be used at a dose of 100 micrograms per day for two to three consecutive days. For chronic gout, a low-purine diet is recommended, long-term use of sulfonamide (suo), a dose of one to two grams per day, to increase renal uric acid excretion, and baking soda can also be used. While treating with western medicine, weight loss is also advocated.
