Gout
An Introduction to Gout
Gout, the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide, is characterized by intense pain and impaired quality of life. Management strategies include weight management, increasing exercise and reducing alcohol consumption to reduce uric acid levels, as well as treatment with xanthine oxidase inhibitors. Other urate-lowering strategies include the selective uric acid reabsorption inhibitors lesinurad and arhalofenate.

Emerging anti-inflammatory strategies involving targeted anti-interleukin (IL) therapy appear effective in reducing the pain of acute attacks as well as preventing recurrent attacks.Â
