    Gout is a common metabolic disease, which is directly related to hyperuricemia caused by disturbance of purine metabolism and/or decreased uric acid excretion
    .

    Gout can also be complicated by renal disease, and in severe cases, joint destruction and renal function damage may occur [1]
    .

    The study of Sriranganathan et al.
    showed that allopurinol, benzbromarone, allopurinol combined with benzbromarone, febuxostat and other drugs can reduce uric acid and reduce tophi [2]
    .

    Two clinical trials of allopurinol in chronic kidney disease (CKD) showed no benefit and a possible increased risk of death
    .

    It is unclear whether this risk may occur in patients with gout and chronic kidney disease [3-4]
    .

    Recently, Jie Wei et al.
    published a paper in the Annals of Internal Medicine Ann Intern Med.
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate the all-cause mortality of allopurinol and escalating doses of allopurinol in patients with gout and chronic kidney disease.
    and the relationship between target serum uric acid [5]
