Perceptions About Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia and Views About Urate‐Lowering Therapy in People With Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia
Most participants perceived minimal consequences of asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia was not well understood by participants, and biologic causes were generally underrecognized. Despite a range of concerns about hyperuricemia-associated conditions, particularly kidney disease and cardiovascular disease, a urate-lowering medication for asymptomatic hyperuricemia was not considered necessary, which aligns with most current management guidelines.
