The problems associated with the treatment of chronic hyperuricaemia in Serbia
Abstract
Gout is a direct consequence of chronic hyperuricaemia, who 's prevalence is following sedentary lifestyle and improper diet dominated by foods rich in purines and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages with sweeteners. Since gout is associated with other serious comorbidities is essential that the treatment of this disease would be adequate. The results of numerous studies indicate that the worldwide therapy of gout is insufficient in most patients. There is no doubt that this assessment is true for the treatment of gout in the Republic of Serbia, and the reasons for such an assessment are numerous. The most important reason is related to the choice of drugs, because in Serbia they are only available xanthine oxidase inhibitors, which reduce the formation of uric acid, while drugs that increase the excretion of uric acid- Uricosuric drugs are not registered. Beside uricosurics, in Serbia is not registered neither colhicine, a drug that has a very important role in the prevention of adverse effects of antihyperuricaemia drugs in the first few weeks of treatment.
