Is Gout Being Effectively Treated in Patients With Kidney Disease?
Gout is a frequent and under-addressed complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), driven by impaired uric acid excretion and systemic inflammation. Despite its high prevalence and association with cardiovascular risk, most patients with CKD and gout are not treated to target serum urate levels. Management is often fragmented across specialties, in part due to the complexities of prescribing urate-lowering therapies in the setting of impaired renal function. This quiz challenges your clinical knowledge of gout prevalence and management patterns in patients with CKD.
