To prevent hyperuricemia in a client with gout, the pharmacological effects of inhibiting the formation of uric acid, increasing the excretion of uric acid, and converting uric acid to a less toxic form can be used. Breaking down or eliminating uric acid does not necessarily prevent its accumulation, which is the primary concern in hyperuricemia.
