Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we deliver optimal gout care with a coordinated long-term strategic approach that involves several key components that go beyond initiation of anti-gout medications. This gout care strategy consists of patient education, individualized lifestyle advice, and appropriate use of anti-gout medications (typically, medications that lower serum urate levels) to achieve and sustain treatment targets of disease control and a potential cure (i.e., sustained serum urate control, absence of gout symptoms, improvement in quality of life).
