About Gout visit

A gout visit treats acute flares and plans long-term urate control. Acute flares respond to NSAIDs, colchicine, or oral or intra-articular corticosteroids — earlier treatment shortens duration. Urate-lowering therapy with allopurinol (or febuxostat for those who cannot tolerate it) is indicated for recurrent attacks, tophi, urate kidney stones, or chronic kidney disease, with a target serum uric acid below 6 mg/dL. Flare prophylaxis with low-dose colchicine or NSAIDs is continued for several months when initiating or titrating urate-lowering therapy.
