Principles of urate-lowering therapy: eight steps to success

Abstract

Treatment of such a serious systemic disease as gout is often carried out incorrectly, despite the presence of a large number of recommendations and drugs. The reluctance of some doctors to follow current recommendations for the management of patients with gout is one of the factors for poor adherence of patients to therapy. The review considers modern approaches to the treatment of gout, which provide for long-term strategies for lowering of serum uric acid level.
