JAMA: 2012-11-28, Vol. 308, No. 20, Author in the Room ™ Audio Interview
Interview with Robert H. Shmerling, MD, author of Management of Gout: A 57-Year-Old Man With a History of Podagra, Hyperuricemia, and Mild Renal Insufficiency. Summary Points: Risk factor modification: alcohol intake, excess weight, diet, medications (although overall impact on gout uncertain). Acute gout can be treated with NSAIDs, colchicine, corticosteroids, or a combination of these. Urate-lowering treatment to prevent attacks and tophi is appropriate for certain patients with gout. (In my opinion, allopurinol is the best initial choice to suppress uric acid.) Urate-lowering treatment should suppress uric acid to 6.0 ...
