Gout meds to lower uric acid and chronic kidney disease

Posted by kitmus @kitmus, Mar 8, 2021

I am Stage 4 CKD and have had a few episodes of gout. Is anyone on this forum who is in late stage taking or has taken meds to help with lowering uric acid? Thank you for any responses, positive and negative.

@charlie5454s You might want to ask your transplant center if they are aware of this dilemma you face. Perhaps they are not. Perhaps something changed and you never got any notice. It has happened before!

Have you spoken to your GP and get his input for working with you on the Allopurinol? I have been on it for over 10 years due to gout issues, also. But, I still watch my diet carefully. It has been years since anyone checked my uric acid level, so I had to insist on a face-to-face with my GP this December to get certain testing done!

I am Stage 3B and was having 3-5 gout episodes a year a few years back, even before I found out about my kidney issues. Allopurinol and colchicine were discussed but I decided to try and avoid them if I could. I did quite a bit of research and put together a protocol for myself that has worked great. My episodes now are about once a year for which I take prednisone immediately and also double my protocol. My episodes have a duration of just a few days and get nowhere near the incapacitation of episodes of years ago where I literally could not walk and used crutches or a scooter. I used to have to take time off work and haven't needed to do that at all. My doctors are very happy with the results. I hope it works for anyone that might try it.

Avoid the Following:
Eliminate purine’s from diet: No pork, organ meats, beans, peas, lentils or seafood. Go easy on proteins especially during episodes. During a flare up eliminate proteins from animals.
Eliminate: All alcohol, fried foods, processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and caffeine containing foods such as coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate.
Sugar and refined grains: Raise blood sugar and stress the adrenal glands, feed yeast, increases dysbiosis and cause a myriad of serious health problems.
Chemical additives: The average American consumes ten pounds of food additives each year. This stresses the liver and the immune system.
Hydrogenated oils and fried foods: Hydrogenated oils promote inflammation and cardiovascular disease, while decreasing immunity and hormonal health. Nerves and brain function are also affected.
Repetitious eating: The foods that one becomes sensitive to are usually those eaten on a daily basis. A simple rotation diet minimizes stress to the immune system from hidden allergies. Try eliminating common allergens such as wheat and other grains, dairy, corn, soy, citrus fruits, chocolate, coffee, and soda.
Processed and packaged foods: These foods are devoid of real nutrition. Processed and packaged foods create nutritional deficiencies, diminishing one’s health and vitality.

Basic Rules about Eating and Lifestyle:
Drink eight 8‐ounce glasses of pure water every day: You need water to eliminate toxins.
Most of the food you consume (more than 50% by volume) should be vegetables: Vegetables are high in antioxidants, trace minerals, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrient
