Relationship between gout and kidney disease
strong
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.

>> Diet and lifestyle changes are very important
for the person with chronic kidney disease.
It's important to remain active.
This will lower blood pressure
and lower blood sugar.
It's important to stop smoking.
Dietary changes are also very important.
Limiting salt intake is important.

to be addressed with a trained nutritional
