Beta-Blockers

Urate-lowering therapy is the foundation of long-term gout management.

The aim is not just pain relief during flares, but sustained reduction of serum urate so that crystal burden gradually decreases.

Key principles:

Start low.
Titrate to target.
Use flare prophylaxis when starting.
Do not stop urate-lowering therapy during an acute flare.
Aim for serum urate <6 mg/dL, or <5 mg/dL in severe tophaceous gout.

Allopurinol remains the usual first-line option, while febuxostat, uricosurics, and pegloticase have specific roles depending on patient profile, renal function, cardiovascular risk, stone history, and disease severity.

Gout is treatable.
The target matters.

Acidosis is not a diagnosis; it is a physiologic alarm. The real clinical question is whether the primary fire started with loss of bicarbonate or retention of CO₂.

Rituximab Protocol :
Before considering Rtx we should ask ourselves 4 questions :
1️⃣ Have we screened for HBV ?
2️⃣ Have we thought about TB?
3️⃣ Are vaccinations up to date?
4️⃣ Is there an active infection hiding somewhere ?
