Abstract

In the last decades, the increase in life expectancy, changes in diet and lifestyle have resulted in raising of incidence and prevalence of gout in all countries. The phenotype of patients with gout has changed a lot over the years: more and more frequently they have several co-morbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic syndrome that influence the progression and challenge the therapeutic management. The management of gout in CKD patients demands more attention and specific features in diagnosis and therapeutic approach. This article summarizes the most recent published evidences on how to best diagnose and treat the gouty patients with CKD, how to better manage medications for the treatment of acute gouty flares and for the chronic hyperuricemia management.
