In October 2012, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) published its long anticipated “Guidelines for the Management of Gout.” In June 2020, ACR built upon the existing guidelines and released new classification criteria about gout.
The 2020 American College of Rheumatology Guidelines on the Management of Gout is based on a comprehensive review of the available evidence and expert understanding, aiming to improve patient outcomes and provide personalized treatment plans through standardized care practices. The guidelines are structured to address pharmacologic treatments, urate-lowering therapies, treatment options for acute flares, managing comorbidities, and emphasizing patient education.
