- Abstract
The article offers update on the diagnosis and management of gout, a clinical problem commonly encountered by both general and specialist physicians. Key principles in gout management are identified, including establishment of a definitive diagnosis, treatment of acute attacks, and prevention of further attacks and joint damage through urate-lowering therapies. Also discussed are the standard diagnostic tool for gout and emerging diagnostic imaging techniques.
