Very importantly, the formation of crystals changeful and they slowly dissolve when serum urate levels became normal, so the disease can be considered curable. The identification of urate crystals in synovial fl uid allows simple unequivocal diagnosis; diagnosis based on clinical property and hyper uricemia is often inaccurate, even if patients fi t the American College for Rheumatology Classification Criteria. Several recent publications show that gout is frequently over diagnose, and management often falls below reasonable standards. The main aim of treatment is to dissolve the rest crystals, freeing the patient of the disease; this is usually achieved by allopurinol, and new remedy will be available soon. Crystal deposit is silent but signaled by the phenomenon of gouty attacks, for which treatment is effective, and can be circumvent with adequate prophylaxis. Alterations related to the so-called metabolic syndrome (such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and propensity to atherosclerosis) are often signaled by gout, and require proper attention.
