Are there treatment guidelines for gout?

Do you have acute or chronic gout? There are medication options after bloodwork tests for chronic gout.

There is also a fairly uniform treatment protocol for acute gout which may involve anti-inflammatory medication or injection, in addition to diet modification, uric acid bloodwork or joint fluid, x ray evaluation for joint destruction, etc. Would you like to video or text chat with me?

Some managed care institutions probably have specific guidelines.

In general, acute attacks are treated with anti-inflammatories , steroids, or a medicine called colchicine. Long term management depends on uric acid levels. And that may involve diet modification and medicine modifications and a medicine called allopurinol. Would you like to video or text chat with me?
