@article{Terkeltaub2010UpdateOG, title={Update on gout: new therapeutic strategies and options}, author={Robert Terkeltaub}, journal={Nature Reviews Rheumatology}, year={2010}, volume={6}, pages={30-38} }
Gout, a disease recognized since antiquity, has increased in prevalence in recent years and the clinical profile of this disease has become increasingly complex, owing to large numbers of cases with iatrogenic factors, multiple comorbidities, advanced age, and hyperuricemia and arthritis refractory to treatment. In this Review, key advances in gout research made during the past decade are summarized. Revised strategies for safe and effective employment of dietary measures and pharmacologic…Â

A new era has thus begun in the field of gout with introduction of new treatments such as interleukin-1 antagonists for management of acute gout, and febuxostat and pegloticase for chronic gout.
Pegloticase: A new biologic for treating advanced gout
- Medicine
- 2012
As a new class of biologic agent offering documented and dramatic effects on lowering serum uric acid and remarkably rapid outcomes in resolving tophi, pegloticase can provide safe and effective management of hyperuricemia and gout for many patients, particularly those who have a high disease burden.

Treating to target: a serum uric acid level < 0.35mmol/l, prevents crystal deposition in joints and soft tissues, thereby preventing acute attacks and ongoing inflammation, as well as decreasing the size and number of tophi.

Febuxostat's overall efficacy and safety profile is comparable and, in certain subsets such as gout patients with mild and moderate renal insufficiency, is superior to allopurinol.

Gout. Novel therapies for treatment of gout and hyperuricemia
- MedicineArthritis research & therapy
- 2009
Effectively delivering improved management of hyperuricemia and gout will require a frame shift in practice patterns, including increased recognition of the implications of refractory disease and frequent noncompliance of patients with gout, and understanding the evidence basis for therapeutic targets in serum urate-lowering and goutsy inflammation.
The inflammatory process of gout and its treatment
- Medicine, BiologyArthritis research & therapy

There are no placebo-controlled, randomized clinical studies for any of the therapies commonly used, although comparative studies have demonstrated that many nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are equivalent to indomethacin with respect to controlling acute gouty attacks.

The presentation of gout in patients with multiple comorbidities not only increases recognition of the toxicity of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and colchicine, but often requires innovative approaches to its treatment.

Gout remains a form of arthritis that is very poorly managed by both primary care physicians and rheumatologists and concerns about toxicity have dampened enthusiasm for the use of probenecid, the only remaining uricosuric agent currently available in the US.
