Table 2

The comparison of the results between the different phases and TCM syndromes of patients with PG.

Phases	APPG ()				NAPPG ()
TCM syndromes	ODHS	IPSBS	PDIDS	QBDS	PDIDS	QBDS	IPSBS	ODHS
	16	12	10	6	21	14	10	7
Percent (%)	36.36	27.27	22.73	13.64	40.38	26.92	19.23	13.46

Notes: APPG: acute phase primary gout; NAPPG: nonacute phase primary gout; ODHS: obstruction of dampness and heat syndrome; IPSBS: intermingled phlegm-stasis blood syndrome; PDIDS: Pi-deficiency induced dampness syndrome; QBDS: Qi-blood deficiency syndrome.
