What About Gout: An 8-Question Quiz

Gout is well known as the “disease of kings,” but the disabling disease reaches well beyond royalty as it now affects more than 3 million Americans. Although new treatments have been successful, gout remains poorly understood and often undertreated.

Note: If you would like more information on any of the questions, a link to the original article, “2012 American College of Rheumatology Guidelines for the Management of Gout,” is provided on the last page of the quiz.
