The Lancet, 2021 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.

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2019 The treat to target strategy looks attractive for management of gout because it removes the causal mechanism inducing formation, growth, and aggregation of urate crystals. Further reduction of serum urate (sUA) levels below the threshold may dissolve crystals more rapidly. It is generally agreed that sUA less than 6 mg/dL is acceptable as a therapeutic

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023 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

American Journal of Case Reports, 2021 BACKGROUND Gout is a chronic disease characterized by deposition of monosodium urate crystals, typically manifesting as arthritis. Clinical presentation of gout usually results from activation of local inflammatory response. Despite being one of the oldest diseases in the world, gout pathophysiology is incompletely understood and clinical features are ...

Gout. Epidemiology of gout [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2010 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

Australian Prescriber, 2016 Gout is a common inflammatory arthritis that is increasing in prevalence. It is caused by the deposition of urate crystals. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine and corticosteroids are options for the management of acute gout. They are equally efficacious and comorbidities guide the best choice.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1972 We now have sufficient knowledge to be able to identify the factors contributing to hyperuricemia in most patients with gout. Some of these factors, such as obesity, a high-purine diet, regular alcohol consumption, and diuretic therapy, may be correctable.
