Researchers assessed the clinical feasibility, efficacy, and cost economics of combination therapy with arthroscopic debridement and drug treatment in ankle acute gout arthritis.
Researchers evaluated the association between serum urate, gout, and cardiovascular comorbidities, using data from the UK Biobank.
Researchers estimated the proportion of incident gout cases that could be prevented by modification of obesity and other key risk factors.
Of 25 patients with both obesity and gout who had elevated uric acid levels prior to bariatric surgery, 10 achieved therapeutic target levels of uric acid at 12 months after the surgery, according to investigators.
The effects of combined verinurad and febuxostat treatment were independent of blood pressure.
Researchers compared the efficacy and safety of citrate mixture and sodium bicarbonate on urine alkalization in patients with gout receiving benzbromarone.
Study authors evaluated patient perspectives to inform the voting process for the 2020 American College of Rheumatology gout treatment guideline.
Higher uric acid is commonly found among older patients transitioning to dialysis, according to investigators.
Investigators performed post hoc analyses of the CKD-FIX trial, stratifying patients by their CKD stage and serum urate level at baseline.
Kidney transplant recipients with uncontrolled gout experienced sharp declines in serum uric acid when treated with pegloticase, a pegylated recombinant uricase that metabolizes uric acid to allantoin, which is readily cleared from the circulation.
