gouty attacks already on colchicine therapy and why?
Add xanthine oxidase inhibitor
measure serum uric acid levels
measure urinary uric acid levels
add xanthine oxidase inhibitor
there's no benefit for measuring uric acid levels, as you already know they're high...it won't change the management.
nope Hawaiingirl...urinary uric acid should be measure. If it is greater than 600mg/day..give xanthine oxidase inibitor. If they are less than 600mg give probenacid.
well wut hawaian girl says is the management of acute gout
and wut veronica says is the management of Chronic gout.
so both of you are right. lucky you...
