Conclusion
In late 2012, the ACR published new guidelines for gout management. Part one of the guidelines is dedicated to the nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic management of hyperuricemia, and part two addresses management of acute attacks and prophylaxis.5,6
In addition, the ACR guidelines emphasize recognizing comorbidities and discuss diet and lifestyle modifications, the elimination of offending agents, and therapy education. These guidelines also offer pharmacologic recommendations for the CKD patient with gout.
