Gout: optimizing treatment to achieve a disease cure

Abstract: Gout is one of the most common inflammatory arthritides. The disease is due to the deposition of monosodium urate crystals. These deposits are reversible with proper treatment, suggesting that gout is a curable disease. The main aim in gout is to lower serum uric acid levels to a pre-established target; there are different urate-lowering drugs (xanthine oxidase inhibitors, uricosurics and uricases) through which this can be achieved. Proper treatment of gout also involves correct management of acute flares and… Show more

“…Giht predstavlja najzastupljeniji oblik inflamantornog artritisa [1] i definiše se kao hronična bolest muskuloskeletnog sistema koja nastaje kao posledica taloženja kristala natrijum urata usled prekomernog povećanja koncentracije mokraćne kiseline u serumu [2]. Osnovni patofiziološki mehanizam nastajanja gihta vezuje se za postojanje hronične hiperurikemije u serumu [3].…”

“…Allopurinol, a non‐uricosuric xanthine oxidase inhibitor (XOI), is a first‐line treatment for gout, but often with intolerable adverse reactions. Febuxostat is a novel and highly selective non‐purine XOI, and possesses better safety profile, being especially applicable for gout patients with renal insufficiencies, a contraindication for uricosuric drugs, and allergy or intolerance to allopurinol (Bernal, Quilis, Andrés, Sivera, & Pascual, ).…”
