The uricosuric agent used for acute gout in a chronic renal failure patient is:

A
Probenecid
B
Colchicine
C
Benzbromarone
D
Aspirin
High-Yield Explanation
Uricosuric agents such as probenecid can be used in patients with good renal function who underexcrete uric acid. Probenecid is generally not effective in patients with serum creatinine levels >177 mol/L (2 mg/dL). These patients may require allopurinol or benzbromarone. Benzbromarone is another uricosuric drug that is more effective in patients with renal failure. Ref: Schumacher H.R., Chen L.X. (2012). Chapter 333. Gout and Other Crystal-Associated Ahropathies.
