[en] We describe the case of a patient with a history of gout, who presents with a new episode of acute gout. Based on this clinical case, we will discuss the management of acute gout. We will then address the management of chronic gout, i.e., the indications for a hypouricemic treatment and the caution required when starting this treatment. Finally, we will address the need for a holistic care, discussing the change of certain co-medications, screening for cardiovascular comorbidities and providing diet and life-style recommendations. [fr] Nous décrivons le cas d’un patient, goutteux connu, qui présente un nouvel accès aigu. Nous discutons tout d’abord, à partir de ce cas clinique, la prise en charge aiguë de la crise de goutte. Nous abordons ensuite les indications de mise en place d’un traitement de fond hypo-uricémiant et les précautions à prendre lors de cette introduction. Enfin, nous détaillons la prise en charge holistique, en évoquant les modifications de certaines thérapeutiques, le dépistage des comorbidités cardiovasculaires et les conseils hygiéno-diététiques.
