Gout: New Aspects on Managing a Very Old (and Potentially Mismanaged) Disease

Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritic disease; estimates that over 7 million Americans are afflicted by this disease. Unfortunately, it is also estimated that less than 1/2 of patients with gout are treated appropriately; many patients are not on the appropriate medications. Similarly, others are inappropriately placed on treatment. Finally, new approaches are available to manage the worst cases of gout. A review of how to approach this centuries-old disease will be carried out.
