Abstract

Aim. To consider new mechanisms of gout pathogenesis of and possibilities of influencing the pathological process. Gout is a chronic joint disease caused by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals in various tissues and subsequent inflammation in individuals with hyperuricemia, caused by exocrine and/or genetic factors. In recent years, new knowledge about gout diagnostics, genetics, pathogenesis, comorbidities and various data indicate new strategies to improve control of the disease and its exacerbations, as well as to prevent comorbid conditions. The discovery of new mechanisms concerning sodium monourate crystal-induced inflammation, proposed new methods of treating not only gout, but also other systemic diseases, including renal and cardiovascular diseases using xanthine oxidase inhibitors, including febuxostat. The case of colchicine is very indicative, which recently, taking into account the significant results of laboratory and clinical experiments, received approval from the US Federal Food and Drug Administration for the Prevention of cardiovascular Diseases. This has provided opportunities for the combinedadministration of febuxostat and colchicine to treat gout, recurrent arthritis attacks and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
