Rev Med Liege 2023, 78(12),733-739Abstract : We describe the case of a patient with a history of gout, who presents with a new episode of acute gout. Based on this clinical case, we will discuss the management of acute gout. We will then address the management of chronic gout, i.e., the indications for a hypouricemic treatment and the caution required when starting this treatment. Finally, we will address the need for a holistic care, discussing the change of certain co-medications, screening for cardiovascular comorbidities and providing diet and life-style recommendations.
