Abstract. In November 2025, a meeting of the Expert Council as part of the XX National Congress of Internal Medicine took place. The discussion was focused on hyperuricemia (HU), an important factor in the development and progression of a wide range of medical diseases that negatively contributes to cardiovascular and overall mortality increasing. Leading Russian specialists in internal medicine discussed the role of elevated serum uric acid levels in the etiopathogenesis of socially significant chronic non-communicable diseases, and outlined key aspects of diagnosis, as well as non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatment of HU. Following the meeting, it was adopted a resolution concerning the necessity to establish a Working Group and develop national clinical guidelines for HU diagnosis and treatment.

The resolution of the Expert Council was approved on 19.11.2025 by the Bureau of the presidium of Russian Scientific Medical Society of Internal Medicine (RSMSIM).
