Abstract

Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of gout ointment on gout treatment.Methods:One hundred cases of gout patients were divided into 2 groups.Patients in control group were treated with Tongfengding Capsule,2 capsules each time and 3 times a day.Aside from administration of Tongfengding Capsule,patients in treatment group received external application of gout ointment additionally twice a day.Two weeks as one course and all patients received 2 successive courses of treatment.Changes of blood β2-microglobulin(β2-MG),hemoglobin(Hb),24h urinary protein(24h UP),blood uric acid(BUA) as well as kidney function were observed.Results:①After treatment,levels of β2-MG and 24h UP decreased significantly(P0.01) and Hb increased remarkably(P0.01) in treatment group,while there was no obvious changes in control group(P0.05).②BUA,BUN and Scr were decreased in both groups,with a larger decrease in the treated group(P0.01).③The total effective rate was 90% in the treated group,which was significantly higher than 72% in the control group(P0.05).④In the course of treatment,patients in the treatment group had an average time of(3±1.2) days for joint pain,which was notably shorter than(7±2.6) days in control group(P0.01).Conclusion:The gout ointment has a favorable therapeutic effect on gout and its mechanism could be related with improving renal function,lowering serum uric acid and reducing proteinuria.
