Gout

"I really feel that the treatment of gout as well as asymptomatic hyperuricemia ... should be a team-based approach. We need to incorporate the primary care physician who's often going to be that person getting the call for an acute flare on the nights or weekends. But we also have to include the rheumatologists because a lot of our guidelines come from their societies. And certainly, the nephrologists because the impact that uric acid has on the skeletal system as well as the kidneys is very important."
