Relationship between gout and kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease is associated with
gout. Many uric acid lowering drugs used to
treat gout require lower doses in patients
with poorly functioning kidneys and they may
have toxic effects on the kidneys. Based on
the National Health and Nutrition Examination
Surveys between 1988 and 1994 and published
in Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, investigators
came to two conclusions. There is an increased
incidence of gout in patients with chronic
kidney disease and protein in the urine suggests
a higher prevalence of gout.
Comment: Not really new news to those of us
who see these
kinds
of patients.

Can kidney disease get better?

>> Can kidney disease get better?
>> The kidney damage that occurs in
chronic kidney disease is usually permanent
and tends to get worse over time.
Diabetes and high blood pressure, which are
the major causes of chronic kidney disease,
cause scarring in the kidney over time,
and as you know, scarring doesn't go away.
As a result, the kidneys don't improve.
What we aim to do with treatment is
to try to prevent further damage.
The GFR test, the blood test which measures how
well your kidneys are filtering will not get
better because the kidneys don't get better.
What we aim to do is to keep
it from getting worse.
