flag Gout patients who lower uric acid below 360 µmol/L have significantly lower heart attack, stroke, and death risk, a UK study finds.

flag A large UK study finds that gout patients who take medications like allopurinol to lower blood urate levels below 360 micromol/L (6 mg/dL) have a significantly reduced risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death over five years. flag Researchers analyzed data from nearly 110,000 adults with gout, showing that those who achieved target levels within a year had better cardiovascular outcomes, especially those at high risk or who reached even lower levels under 300 micromol/L (5 mg/dL). flag The findings, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, suggest effective gout treatment offers dual benefits by preventing flares and improving heart health.
