For which condition is Pegloticase prescribed?

High blood pressure
Diabetes
Hyperuricemia in chronic gout
High cholesterol

The correct answer is: Hyperuricemia in chronic gout

Pegloticase is a medication used for treating hyperuricemia, which is an excess of uric acid in the blood, in patients with chronic gout. High blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol are all unrelated conditions and are not treated with pegloticase. While these conditions may coexist in some patients, pegloticase is not prescribed specifically for them. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
