Researchers of a metagenomic analysis assessed the taxonomic and functional signatures of the gut microbiome in gout and its association with clinical parameters and response to therapeutic interventions.
Researchers developed and validated a gout flare risk stratification tool for patients with gout who were hospitalized for nongout conditions.
Hyperuricemia and gout may be associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer disease.
Thanks to their continued efforts, and a willingness to share their findings through published research, experts are advancing the cause of improved care for patients with gout.
The American College of Rheumatology developed guidelines for the management of gout, including use of urate-lowering therapy, flare treatment, and lifestyle and medication recommendations.
In recent years, researchers have investigated a potential link between gout and depression. We review clinical evidence on the subject.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect more than 52 million Americans, and symptoms such as chronic pain, swelling and inflammation can mirror other illnesses. In addition, there are more than 100 rheumatic diseases that can affect any area of the body. The ACR creates and updates criteria sets and clinical practice guidelines to help researchers and clinicians identify and treat diseases that are often difficult to manage.
