Savient Pharmaceuticals Inc (fka SVNTQ)

Krystexxa could well end up to be the Viagra of Savient. It may possibly even be better? Competitors in the gout treatment arena work by lowering the amount of Uric acid as a percent. They still allow unacceptable amounts of uric acid to pass through the Kidneys, though not as much. That is small consolation because every drop of uric acid that flows through an already compromised kidney is one step closer to dialysis.
It turns out that if you can delay or improve the prospects for someone suffering from Kidney disease, and limit their need for dialysis you can save the healthcare system gobs of money. To say billions worldwide is not hyperbolic.
