The impact of urate-lowering therapy on kidney function (IMPULsKF)

open access: yesPočki, 2017
The concept of trial launched in Ukraine in 2017 with POEM design and 36-months duration is presented. It aims to investigate the impact of two target levels of urate-lowering therapy caused by hyperuricemia on kidney function and chronic kidney disease (

Improved joint and patient-reported health assessments with pegloticase plus methotrexate co-therapy in patients with uncontrolled gout: 12-month exploratory outcomes of the MIRROR open-label trial

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Uncontrolled/refractory gout patients are recalcitrant/intolerant to oral urate-lowering therapies (ULTs), experiencing frequent gout flares, functionally limiting tophi, and low quality of life.

Personalized Medicine of Urate-Lowering Therapy for Gout

open access: yes, 2020
Gout is a common and complex form of arthritis that is characterised with hyperuricaemia. It is required urate-lowering therapy (ULT) for lifelong management. ULT includes decreasing uric acid product in serum, increasing renal urate excretion and promoting uric acid to allantoin for excretion.

Urate-Lowering Therapy in Moderate to Severe Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]

open access: yesThe Permanente Journal, 2018
Hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for progression of kidney disease.To determine whether lowering serum uric acid level (sUA) to below 6 mg/dL (target) improves mild to moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and whether CKD stage influences the benefit of lowering sUA to target.Retrospective epidemiologic cohort study conducted over 8 years ...

Factors associated with initiation and persistence of urate-lowering therapy [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2017
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritic disease and is caused by crystal deposition secondary to persistent hyperuricemia. Etiological treatment with urate-lowering therapy (ULT) has been available since the 1950s but previous studies have demonstrated suboptimal degree of treatment.

Adherence with urate-lowering therapies for the treatment of gout [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis Research & Therapy, 2009
Abstract Introduction Adherence to urate-lowering drugs (ULDs) has not been well evaluated among those with gout. Our aim was to assess the level and determinants of non-adherence with ULDs prescribed for gout.
