Sammanfattning
X : Patients with increased levels of uric acid will usually be treated with drugs if symptoms of acute arthritis or kidney stones occur. Drugs for the treatment of acute arthritis attacks include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), glucocorticoids systematically or injected into the joint, and colchicine. As prophylactic long-term treatment of recurring attacks, allopurinol, probenicide and colchicine are therapeutic alternatives. There is still no consensus on the treatment of individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia.
