It may have once been known as Disease of Kings, but gout is a
growing problem for ordinary people around the world. This book
brings together multinational expertise to draw out an
understanding of this disease that will be useful for the academic,
the clinician and indeed the sufferer of gout. Highlighting recent
understandings of the genetic background to the condition, with
detailed pathophysiology and epidemiology, this book brings
together and illustrates the disease mechanisms that cause gout.
There follows both an academic and practical appraisal of the
dietary risk factors for the development of gout, and the
cardiovascular associations that heighten morbidity. With state of
the art imaging modalities, the process and sequelae of the disease
is captured within the human body, describing in pictures the
damage and effect that gout crystals can produce. That damage can
be avoided however, if simple principles of treatment and lifestyle
modifications are followed. Horizon scanning for yet more drugs to
address this growing and unmet need is highlighted as new options
that have either recently become available or will be accessible in
the near future are explored. With the increasing incidence and
prevalence of this condition we are all going to have greater
exposure to gout. This book is a timely resource, written by
experts, yet accessibly written for all, and certainly not just for
kings.
