Blood and 24-hour urine samples were collected during the acute phase and two weeks after the initial visit. Patients with acute gouty arthritis were treated primarily with colchicine and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 32 patients completed the two-week follow-up trial. SUA levels were significantly downregulated during the acute flare than after the flare (464.14 \u00b1 90.97 <jats:italic>vs<\/jats:italic>. 527.36 \u00b1 86.90 \u03bcmol\/L, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001).

The percent change in SUA was associated with those in 24 h FEur and C-reactive protein. Meanwhile, the percent change in 24 h Uur was associated with those in 24-hour urinary free cortisol, percent change in interleukin 1\u03b2 and interleukin 6.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Decreased SUA level during the acute gout flare was associated with increased excretion of urinary uric acid.
