Rheumatologist Dr. Manish Jain joins Cardiologist Dr. Michael Koren to break down what gout is, why it can be one of the most painful forms of arthritis, and why it can affect far more than the big toe. Dr. Jain explains gout's metabolic underpinnings, the role uric acid plays in the disease, and how systemic complications can affect the kidneys and beyond. The doctoral duo then discusses what uric acid levels mean, why some uric acid results may be misleading, and how important it is to control these levels for a gout patient. The duo finishes by reviewing standard treatments for gout, the importance of "not killing the patient to treat gout," and new treatments on the horizon in gout clinical trials.
