About Gout:
In the U.S., an estimated 9 million individuals are diagnosed with gout. Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that can significantly diminish mobility, functionality, and overall quality of life. Gout emerges from the crystallization of uric acid within the joints, instigating painful flare-ups and chronic symptoms. The kidneys play a pivotal role in the process, as they are responsible for filtering out and excreting uric acid from the body. Elevated serum uric acid (sUA) levels often signify an imbalance in production or excretion of uric acid, and they act as an early indicator of potential gout development. Consistent, elevated sUA levels have been identified as a precursor to gout attacks and related complications. It’s essential to monitor and manage these levels as part of comprehensive gout treatment and prevention strategies.
