INTRODUCTION: Gout affects about 5% of men and 1% of women, with up to 80% of people experiencing a recurrent attack within 3 years. METHODS AND OUTCOMES:We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical questions: What are the

Gout is a common and treatable disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in articular and non-articular structures. Increased concentration of serum urate (hyperuricaemia) is the most important risk factor for the development of gout.

To the Editor: The Clinical Practice review on gout by Mikuls (Nov. 17 issue)1 underscores the importance of hyperuricemia as a necessary risk factor and mentions the high heritability of serum urate levels.2 Serum urate levels are mostly controlled by the kidney, as confirmed by genetic studies implicating both rare and common variants in transporters

Gout is a chronic disease caused by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition. Gout typically presents as an acute, self-limiting inflammatory monoarthritis that affects the joints of the lower limb. Elevated serum urate level (hyperuricaemia) is the major risk factor for MSU crystal deposition and development of gout. Although traditionally considered

Effect of tart cherry juice on risk of gout attacks: protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Introduction: Gout is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis associated with several comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease. Cherries, which are rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidative bioactive compounds, are proposed to be efficacious

Gout. Epidemiology of gout [PDF]
Gout is the most prevalent form of inflammatory arthropathy. Several studies suggest that its prevalence and incidence have risen in recent decades. Numerous risk factors for the development of gout have been established, including hyperuricaemia, genetic factors, dietary factors, alcohol consumption, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, obesity, diuretic

Gouty arthritis of the spine in a renal transplant patient : a clinical case report: an unusual presentation of a common disease [PDF]
Axial gout is a well-documented but uncommon manifestation of gout. Its mimicking nature and the impracticality of axial joint aspiration might considerably delay its diagnosis.

Lesinurad, a novel, oral compound for gout, acts to decrease serum uric acid through inhibition of urate transporters in the kidney. [PDF]
BackgroundExcess body burden of uric acid promotes gout. Diminished renal clearance of uric acid causes hyperuricemia in most patients with gout, and the renal urate transporter (URAT)1 is important for regulation of serum uric acid (sUA) levels.
