| Abstract | Background Uncontrolled gout can cause articular impairment but is also associated with a global and cardiovascular excess mortality, especially in dialysis population. Data documented within existing research is not conclusive regarding gout flares evolution during hemodialysis and their control by urate lowering therapy (ULT). Without clear guidelines concerning hemodialysis patients management with chronic gout, this study proposes to investigate whether gout flare incidence reduction could be observed on this population treated by urate lowering therapy versus patients without treatment. Methods We performed a retrospective cohort study in two hemodialysis centers in France. Were selected patients over 18 years old with a gout history who started hemodialysis between January 2005 and September 2015. Demographics and clinicals data were recorded at hemodialysis start and throughout 5 years of follow up. Gout flare was defined as presence of uric acid crystal in joint punction or clinically diagnosed as such with a colchicine prescription. All statistical analysis were performed in SAS® version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Results One hundred eighty-one patients have been included, mean age at dialysis initiation was 68.6 years (± 12.4) with 72% of men, 54% were treated by ULT: 89.7% by allopurinol and 9.3% by febuxostat. One patient received both treatments successively. After hemodialysis initiation, 35.36% patients had experienced at least one gout flare. The appearance of at least one gout flare concerned 50% of patients in no ULT group and 22.68% patients in ULT group (p = 0.0002). Dialysis efficiency was measured at regular interval during follow-up and was similar in both groups. To study the association strength between clinical factors and gout flares occurrences, a Cox model was performed; ULT is a protector factor of gout flare (HR:0,42, CI 95: 0,25-0,71). The proportion of serum urate values within the target (median 53% vs 29.3%, p < 0.0001) was significantly higher in ULT group versus no ULT group (median 53% vs 29.3%, p < 0.0001). Conclusion Urate lowering therapy limit new gout flares occurrence in hemodialysis patients with gout historyCollaboration between rheumatologists and nephrologists may help to update guidelines for urate-lowering therapies in patients on dialysis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
