Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis in the United States.1 Hyperuricemia/gout in patients with CKD constitutes a significant burden for patients and society. Patients who are not managed adequately experience painful gout attacks, loss of function and productivity, and may develop long-term complications. The economic burden is also increased from patient utilization of prescription medication use, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations from gout or its serious complications.
Despite effective treatment for prevention, acute attacks, and tophi, and the availability of published treatment guidelines, there are significant gaps in treatment, patient communication, and clinical and economic outcomes for patients with hyperuricemia/gout and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Audio responses from patient interviews will be at the center of the discussion in this CME Outfitters Live and On Demand as expert faculty discuss best practices, effective patient communication, and treatment options for patients with hyperuricemia or gout and chronic kidney disease.
