Eligibility for and prescription of urate-lowering treatment in patients with incident gout in England (2014)
Journal Article
Kuo, C.-F., Grainge, M. J., Mallen, C., Zhang, W., & Doherty, M. (2014). Eligibility for and prescription of urate-lowering treatment in patients with incident gout in England. Journal of the American Medical Association, 312(24), https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2014.14484

Gout is caused by urate crystal deposition secondary to persistent hyperuricemia. Current guidelines recommend urate-lowering treatment to prevent crystal deposition and encourage crystal dissolution for patients with more severe gout or concomitant...

Aging is associated with a gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass and an impaired ability of this tissue to compensate for trauma. Studies in rodents and humans have also shown that resident stem cells within muscle have a reduced ability to proliferat...
