Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Stage ≥3 chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects ∼25% of people with gout. The effects of urate-lowering therapy (ULT) on CKD incidence and progression have remained inconclusive. Here, we assessed the impact of a gout ULT clinic intervention using artificial intelligence (AI) on CKD incidence and achievement of serum urate (SU) target.
