What is Chronic Gout?

Chronic gout is a long-term form of inflammatory arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the body. When uric acid levels remain elevated over time, crystals can form and accumulate in the joints, triggering painful gout flares and, eventually, causing permanent joint damage if left untreated.

While gout often begins with occasional attacks, chronic gout develops when uric acid levels are not adequately controlled, leading to frequent flares, persistent inflammation, and the formation of uric acid crystal deposits known as tophi.

Chronic Gout Treatment

The primary goal of treatment is to lower uric acid levels and prevent future crystal formation. The first course of treatment is oral uric acid-lowering medications to help reduce uric acid production.

Medications used to control inflammation may include colchicine, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids.

For patients whose gout remains uncontrolled despite standard therapies, healthcare providers may prescribe Krystexxa® (pegloticase).

Krystexxa is an FDA-approved intravenous biologic therapy designed to lower uric acid levels by converting uric acid into a substance the body can more easily eliminate.
