Take a Stand
on Gout
The Gout & Uric Acid Education Society
March 2015 Newsletter
  


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. 
 
As you may have seen in our previous newsletters, we have introduced a series of educational comics to help raise awareness about the severity of gout.

Gout is most dangerous when it is connected with other comorbidities. Gout has been linked to other serious health issues, including hypertension, kidney disease, diabetes and obesity. You can learn more about gout and comorbidities through GoutEducation.org here.
 
Taking Care of Kidneys During
National Kidney Month

March is National Kidney Month. The kidneys perform vital functions such as filtering waste, but did you know that 1 in 5 patients with gout will develop kidney stones?

Renal insufficiency is a well-known cause of hyperuricemia. For patients with kidney disease, it is important to monitor their kidney function throughout the treatment phase, as it affects urea levels.

Learn more about kidney health from the National Kidney Foundation here or visit GoutEducation.org.
