U should do--
watch your weight. Eat fresh fruit, vegetables, whole wheat products and some pulses (high in purine) every day.
Enjoy low-fat milk and dairy products daily.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol
if you smoke, stop it. Add more fiber to your diet. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which provide complex carbohydrates. Avoid foods and beverages with high-fructose corn syrup, and limit consumption of naturally sweet fruit juices.
Good sources of low-purine nuts and seeds include walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds and cashew nuts.
U can take one handful of these nuts (mixed) everyday
curd is very good for you.
Dear lybrate-user,
as you have developed symptomatic gouty arthritis with high uric acid levels it is likely that you have a genetic tendency for high uric acid levels.
You need to avoid nuts, wine and red meat and drink 3-4 litres of water every day. If in spite of dietary modification the problem persists you may have to adjust the dose of febutaz to optimize uric acid levels.

Your serum creatinine level (2.20) is on the higher side and also hbv surface antigen positive (which may be positive from the earlier days also. It will be a wise thing to consult with your nephrologist in an online portal. Most of our colleagues have adopted the online consultation system. I am sure your nephrologist is definitely using at least whatsapp. So get in touch with him. Thanks.

Your uncle was suffering from diabetic nephropathy and according to guidelines bp should be aggressively controlled and to be kept at around 130/80 or below. I would advise to meet your nephrologist and consult regarding the dose increment of amlodac.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Usually the drug mentioned is taken to reduce excess uric acid from the blood. Plus if a person has symptoms of joint pains and swelling with high uric acid. Unless those details are given there is no way to give any advice. Thanks.

Mr Rakesh Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Uric acid 10.6 mg is quite high. But please tell me what symptoms do you have, because nothing is mentioned about that aspect. Only increased uric acid is not such a problem unless there is gouty arthritis.
Since treatment has been started, it will take a few days for seeing any results.
Plus you will have to follow certain precautions which I am sure doctor treating must have already conveyed. Those are: 1 Stop taking high purine containing foods (if you are taking non vegetarian diet), cut out organ meat like liver, kidney. 2) Avoid red meat, only dressed chicken can be taken. 3)Sea food should be avoided. 4)Colas & alcohol should also be avoided.
Dairy foods are good. If you have any questions please do come back.Thanks.
