Analysis of Superb Microvascular Imaging Blood Flow Scoring, Disease Duration, and Laboratory Indicators Involved in Gout
With a prolonged progression of gout, hs-CRP and ESR levels amplify, along with a concurrent intensification in the SMI scorings of blood flow signals in the affected joints (grades 2 and 3). In the acute gout attack, SMI blood flow scoring showed a moderate correlation to hs-CRP, a low correlation to ESR, and no correlation to SUA, among which the best correlation was found between SMI scoring and hs-CRP levels in the synovial hyperplasia.
