Gout meds to lower uric acid and chronic kidney disease

This is cherry season. I try to get to the local farmers market to buy tasty fresh picked cherries. The stores have them too. It's fresh fruit, which dieticians recommend, and the sugar is natural, not processed. It may not be the same as tart cherry concentrate, but you never know, and it tastes good.

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

Give Blood – It has been found that pre-menopausal women virtually have no cases of gout. It is based on the iron level in the blood. Menstruation causes loss of iron. After menopause iron can accumulate and is found to increase the risk for gout. Give blood as often as possible. This is true for men and women.

This is very interesting info as I am pre-prediaibtic (6.0)and CKD3 and was told everything was progressive and that my CKD3 would not get better and no need for diet etc. So I have on my own tried to adjust my life style and diet and I think your info may help a lot....thank you very much for your clear and concise info. I took screen shots and hope I can get my printer to work. Thanks to my docs that have been patient and helped. I am 84 and it very frustrating but upwards and onwards. Peace be with you.

Not knowing your specific situation I would tell you to get a second opinion. My first nephrologist said there was nothing to do but my Mayo Clinic doctors have a completely different opinion. Controlling blood sugar is important as the more sugar in the blood the more syrupy it gets and more difficult for the kidneys to filter. As far as sodium, potassium, phosphorus, etc. there are formulas to follow to learn your limits. When diagnosed 4 years my eGFR was 39 and it was 57 last week. My creatinine has also improved the same amount. SO diet is very important as far as I'm concerned and most experts agree. Best wishes.

@fromthehill If you wander over to the kidney and bladder support group, you will find several discussions about renal/kidney diets.

We all seem to agree that diet and the foods we consume play a mjor factor in our kidney health. Many of us, myself included, heard from our doctors telling us not to worry, not to go towards a renal diet, etc. Wrong! is all I gotta say about that! Watching intake of sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorous, protein and redmeat are all very important.

Do yourself a great favor by taking control of what you eat!

I suffer from gout (18 years post kidney transplant) and have taken Allopurinol for at least 10+ years to control urticaria acid level (as well as watching intake of triggering foods). I also have Colchicine if I have a flare-up. Fortunately the Allopurinol evidently does its job and I haven't had any issue in a few years. My script were originally ordered through the Specialty Pharmacy and always refilled without any issue. Now suddenly they won't fill it and want me to have my local GP to deal with it. He doesn't know transplant patients (and I was told gout can be a side effect of my transplant meds) and I am really confused why my transplant team suddenly is washing their hands as far as refilling a med the originally prescribed and refilled for years. Boo.
