Methods and kits for predicting infusion reaction risk and antibody-mediated loss of response during intravenous PEGylated uricase therapy in gout patients is provided. Routine SUA monitoring can be used to identify patients receiving PEGylated uricase who may no longer benefit from treatment and who are at greater risk for infusion reactions.

One of the significant challenges to translation of intravenously administered nanomaterials has been complement-mediated infusion reactions which can be lethal. Slow infusions can reduce infusion reactions, but slow infusions are not always possible in applications like controlling bleeding following trauma. Nanocapsules based on polyurethane are introduced as candidates that do not substantially activate complement protein C5a and the PEGylation and functionalization of the nanocapsules with the GRGDS peptide to create a new class of hemostatic nanomaterials is disclosed. Advantageously, the nanocapsules substantially avoid complement-mediated infusion reactions, promote faster clotting than controls, maintain maximum clot firmness, and do not activate pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Described herein are methods for reducing an antibody response to uricase therapy, improving the treatment of gout, reducing uric acid levels, and preventing and / or delaying infusion reactions. The methods may include administration of a uricase and a steroid as described herein.
