Greetings!
The Gout & Uric Acid Education Society is committed to raising public awareness about gout and arming health care professionals, like you, with resources to share with patients and the most up-to-date information about gout, diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you for stopping by the GUAES booth at the recent American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting.
We hope that you were able to take some materials that can help you and your patients in the proper diagnosis and treatment of this very painful disease.

Medical Professionals
More than 8 million Americans have gout, and the patient numbers are rising. However, just 10 percent of patients are receiving proper treatment. A better understanding of gout can contribute to faster and more accurate diagnosis, improved treatment and identification of possible comorbidities.
The Medical Professional Information Kit consists of several documents and videos:
* A Gout Information Guide
* ACR Guidelines on Gout Management Parts 1 and 2 (PDF)
* Eight new videos featuring diagnosis and treatment perspectives from gout specialists and insights from patients on their experiences with gout
* An updated patient brochure: "Take a Stand on Gout" for distribution to patients
* A poster for placement in the waiting or exam room
* Patient version of the information kit
The Medical Professional Information Kit is available through the Medical Professional portal on www.gouteducation.org.
