Changes

• all of the information above from the "stub" should be corrected.

allopurinol is a drug that is used to treat gout, and does so by inhibiting xanthine oxidase. this stops the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine, and then again, from xanthine to uric acid. it is uric acid that is not solube in water, and cystallizes in the joints and kidney tubules, NOT XANTHINE.

Upgraded importance rating

This is a broad topic with >20k monthly pageviews despite being pretty low-quality. It is exceedingly common worldwide, affects many other branches of medicine, and has many sub-topics. I believe it meets all criteria to be a Top-importance medicine page, and have adjusted its rating accordingly.

Hopefully this also stimulates some more improvement to the page. Just-a-can-of-beans (talk) 19:04, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Improving top-importance medicine articles: Join the Vital Signs campaign 2026

The goal of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine/Vital Signs 2026 campaign is to bring all 101 top-importance articles—including this one—up to at least B-class quality. Many of these articles are widely read but overdue for review, so even small improvements can have a big impact.

If you watch or edit this article, your help would be very welcome. You can:

1. Add yourself as a participant
2. Note the state of the article in the Progress table (is the current class still correct?)
3. Update the article based on recent clinical guidelines and review papers
4. Help address gaps, improve clarity for a broad audience, or improve image selection

To reach B class, articles should have: suitable referencing, reasonable coverage, a clear structure, good prose, helpful illustrations, and be understandable to a broad audience. Contributions of any size are appreciated. Femke (talk) 16:00, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
