Pilot Studies of Cherry Juice Concentrate for Gout Flare Prophylaxis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis in men and older women. The management of gout involves treating pain and inflammation associated with acute flares and lowering the uric acid pool. A challenge associated with the successful management of gout is an increased risk of acute flares after initiation of urate-lowering therapy (ULT). Prophylactic anti-inflammatory therapy is recommended to prevent flares and foster compliance with urate lowering therapy [1]. This can compromise patient adherence to ULT and hence adversely affect the outcome of treatment [2]. Prophylactic low-dose antiinflammatory therapy is recommended to prevent flares and foster compliance with ULT.
