Hyperuricemia Treatment Threshold & Uric Acid Target

Evaluates serum uric acid levels against treatment thresholds. Treatment is indicated when uric acid >6 mg/dL with confirmed gout or urate-lowering therapy history. Target for most gout patients is <6 mg/dL; for tophaceous gout, <5 mg/dL.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
