Management of Gout

Abstract
The diagnosis of gout depends on showing urate crystals in synvial effusions or, with less certainty, recognizing a characteristic clinical presentation. The management of gout has 4 phases: control of inflammation, diagnostic evaluation, education of the patient and treatment for the hyperuricemia. Sound logical principles guide each aspect. Careful attention to these 4 phases of management should lead to highly satisfactory control of the gout syndrome.
