Overview
This activity is no longer available for continuing education credit.
Conventional oral urate-lowering therapies frequently to fail to achieve target serum uric acid (sUA) levels in patients with chronic kidney disease and uncontrolled refractory gout. This can lead to increased urate burden and complications, including worsening kidney disease, cardiovascular events, and metabolic syndrome. Tune in to find out how to incorporate targeted therapies when managing uncontrolled refractory gout and improve your patients’ quality of life.

Learning Objectives
After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Discuss the pathophysiology and prevalence of high uric acid levels and uncontrolled gout in patients with renal disease and the contribution of chronic gout to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, associated comorbidities, and increased mortality
- Apply knowledge of available diagnostic tools to identify patients with elevated serum uric acid (sUA) levels early in the progression of CKD to initiate proper urate-lowering therapy (ULT) and reduce urate burden
- Summarize the limitations of standard ULT options in patients with CKD
- Incorporate emerging urate-lowering therapies, including pegloticase-methotrexate combined therapy and clinical trial evidence, into clinical practice in the treatment of appropriate patients with uncontrolled gout
- Discuss gout as an independent risk factor for CVD and its association with CVD morbidity and mortality, necessitating early screening and treatment to attain target sUA levels
Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the educational needs of nephrologists, rheumatologists, cardiologists, primary care physicians, and others who encounter, diagnose, and treat gout.
