Lowering Serum Urate With
ObjectiveGout is associated with a higher risk of fracture; however, findings on the associations of hyperuricemia and urate‐lowering therapy (ULT) with the risk of fracture have been inconsistent. We examined whether lowering serum urate (SU) levels with ULT to a target level (i.e., <360 μmoles/liter) reduces the risk of fracture among individuals ...

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

Current urate-lowering therapy (ULT) includes three direct acting drugs (allopurinol, febuxostat, Rasburicase) and at least four ‘indirect’ drugs with other important targets (canagliflozin, losartan, fenofibrate and sevelamer).

Effects of Discontinuation of Urate-Lowering Therapy: A Systematic Review [PDF]
Urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is associated with low rates of adherence, leading to a potential risk of relapse of gouty arthritis, tophi, or urolithiasis. Our main aim was to identify the recurrence of gouty arthritis, tophi, or urolithiasis after discontinuation of ULT.

Personalized Medicine of Urate-Lowering Therapy for Gout [PDF]
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.
