← Return to Gout meds to lower uric acid and chronic kidney disease

Hello @kitmus. I have CKD stage 3B and gout. Through Mayo telemedicine I was given allopurinol and colchicine. It appears that these are the standard prescriptions. I was also given prednisone for acute attacks. Due to other medical conditions, I had issues with the allopurinol and colchicine. Then I was prescribed Uloric, but still had a reaction. I finally got my Covid vaccinations, so I am returning to Rochester in May for testing, examination, and treatment. I was told that the plan is to reduce uric acid below 6, because that is the level at which the crystals that create the gout are formed. I hope you find this helpful.

Thanks for responding. I am also on blood thinner so have to be careful. It is good to know that docs can subscribe the gout medications to CKD patients. Sorry to hear about your side effects.

Thank you. I am now on allopurinol daily. Am also on colchicine low dose for thirty days as “cover”. My feet are better.
