The second pillar of my better gout treatment campaign is urate lowering therapy. If you are subscribed to my gout newsletter, you probably know this - if you are not, subscribe today!

Without good procedures for frequent testing of uric acid levels, and treatment to lower them below 6mg/dL, you will continue to be plagued with gout.

Yet many patients do not get tested, or treated. Of those that do, many do not complete their treatment, and others do not get the correct dose to lower uric acid enough to get rid of gout.

This topic is strictly for telling us about good uric acid testing and lowering procedures.

How often was your uric acid tested? How confident were you with the results of urate lowering therapy? What explanations about uric acid did you receive?

Please share your good uric acid lowering experiences here.

Urate lowering therapy can be very effective for reducing flares of gout, thereby preventing ongoing joint damage and deformity.  Despite this efficacy, most gout patients are undertreated, leading to undue painful flares and joint damage.  Non-adherence to therapy is a strong contributor to undertreatment.  Here, Solomon et al (Ann Rheum Dis 2008; 67: 609) explore adherence to and barriers to urate lowering therapy in a cohort of patients receiving urate lowering therapy through a state supported pharmacy benefit program.
