This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), under CFDA Program 93.846 Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Research, provides $240,715 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to explore the burden of gout in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) transitioning to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and after kidney transplantation.

The research aims to: 1) Examine the trajectory of gout burden and treatment patterns as patients transition from advanced CKD to ESKD, and 2) Assess changes in gout incidence, flares, and outcomes including cardiovascular hospitalizations and mortality among kidney transplant recipients. This work leverages data from the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) and the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to provide critical insights that can guide improved gout management strategies for this patient population. The project period runs from July 10, 2025 through May 31, 2028.
