title: Impact of associated medical conditions on clinical features of gout.
abstract: In view of the various available drugs, we are now in a very much better situation for treatment of gout, with and without associated medical conditions. When several drugs are employed in one single patient, however, one may run into drug interactions, resulting into exaggerated hyperuricemia or induced acute gouty arthritis. In lieu of the various associated medical conditions, controlled or uncontrolled, the clinical features of gout may be modified. Accordingly, one must treat the patient's gout as well as his various stages of the associated medical conditions, and each patient must be individualized.
