Brief Summary:
Objective:
To study the impact of metformin on the outcome of gouty arthritis in a cohort of Egyptian gouty patients, and to evaluate its effect on local joint inflammation, inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6), and life quality.
Methods:
A prospective randomized, single-blinded parallel randomized control study included 100 patients with active inflammatory gouty arthritis were randomized to receive metformin (1000mg/day) or placebo in addition to the traditional lines of treatment of gout. The clinical and laboratory data of the patients will be analyze at baseline, then after 3, and 6 months, with the assessment of gout disease activity, in addition, serum IL-1β and IL-6, the number of attacks per year, treatment satisfaction, quality of life, and disability index were evaluated at the 6th month from starting metformin and placebo therapy.

Detailed Description:
Background: Metformin has anti-inflammatory properties, as it suppresses the inflammatory process by down-regulating the transcription factor, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), through AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent and independent pathways.
