Клинические рекомендации уже давно вошли в число рабочих инструментов современного врача, помогая ему быстро ориентироваться в наиболее эффективных доказанных методах лечения и профилактики различных заболеваний, а также адаптировать эти методы к конкретным задачам своих больных и добиваться максимальной персонализации лечения. Клинические рекомендации составляются профессиональными некоммерческими ассоциациями и одобряются научным советом МЗ РФ, при этом нередко одна рекомендация готовится двумя или даже тремя ассоциациями. Особенность предлагаемых вашему вниманию рекомендаций в том, что в профилактику и лечение ожирения вовлекаются не только эндокринологи, но и терапевты, кардиологи, гинекологи, гастроэнтерологи и врачи многих других специальностей. Мультидисциплинарная рабочая группа представляет этот проект в многопрофильном журнале с целью объединения усилий нескольких профессиональных ассоциаций, что связано с необходимостью уделить внимание не только самому ожирению, но и коморбидным состояниям. Мы надеемся на конструктивную критику и разностороннее обсуждение проблемы на страницах нашего журнала.
Nowadays, there is increased interest in the connection of gout and asymptomatic hyperuricemia with comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, chronic kidney disease and other. Studies conducted over the past few decades suggest that not only gout, but also asymptomatic hyperuricemia can significantly worsen the prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases, as the deposition of urate crystals can be both an immediate cause and a factor in the progression of renal failure. In that way, the timely appointment of urate - lowering therapy and achieving the target serum uric acid level can not only affect joint damage, but also can significantly slow the progression of life - threatening comorbid conditions.
The curation of patients with gout involves the mandatory prescription of pathogenetic therapy with urate-lowering drugs, among which xanthine oxidase inhibitors, such as allopurinol and febuxostat, are most widely used. According to various national and international guidelines, allopurinol is the first line drug for gout. However, there is a large cohort of patients, in whom the use of febuxostat is not only justified, but is also preferable. First of all, these are patients who are intolerant to allopurinol and at a high risk of severe skin reactions. There is a high risk of mortality and a low probability of achieving the target uric acid level when allopurinol is prescribed for patients with diminished renal function. Taking into account the fact that febuxostat has a pronounced nephroprotective effect, prescribing the drug in these patients will be a more effective way to achieve normouricemia. At the same time, the presence of cardiovascular diseases, although this requires additional caution when choosing therapy, should not be a reason for refusal to take febuxostat, since the results of many studies not only have failed to confirm a higher risk for cardiovascular events during therapy with this drug, but also have shown that it has cardioprotective properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
