Abstract

Gout is a multifactorial metabolic disease associated with metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. Traditional treatment is focused, for a long time, on controlling clinical manifestations such as acute pain, redness and edema of the patient, through the use of uric acid synthesis inhibitors, colchicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Currently, new medications focused on the control of excretion-reabsorption of uric acid and the treatment of comorbidities of the disease are being considered [1, 2].

In Mexico, in recent years hyperuricemia and hypertension have increased along with obesity and diabetes, both in children and adults. This review is aimed at showing the importance of treating comorbidities in patients with gout as an important part of preventing and combating the disease while controlling inflammation and hyperuricemia. At the biggest cities of American continent, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases represent a health problem and it is important to consider that the prevalence of gout may increase rapidly in the coming years. The correct diagnosis and follow-up of the patient is essential to control the disease, so recognizing gout as a multifactorial disease, where there are various factors that favor inflammation, will help design better therapeutic strategies.
