ABSTRACT
With the improvement of people′s living conditions and the prolonged lifespan, gout and hyperuricemia have increasingly become common chronic diseases in daily clinical practice for other physicians in addition to rheumatologists, even including general practitioners and primary care doctors. The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) firstly issued recommendations on gout diagnosis and management in 2006, which has been updated several times. Using a Delphi consensus approach, 2018 updated European League Against Rheumatism evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis of gout finally formulated eight main recommendations, which was published online in June 2019. Not only does this edition emphasize the role of specialists, joint puncture or tophus aspirates and ultrasound in diagnosis, but also calls on all clinicians to pay more attention to risk factors of gout and associated comorbidities.
