kidney damage caused by gout is mainly caused by high uric acid levels in the body, causing urate crystals to deposit in kidney tissue or form kidney stones. Therefore, if you want to protect your kidneys, you need to start from the origin, control uric acid levels, reduce the number and ability to form urate crystals.
Urat-related kidney disease is one of the most common manifestations of gout, accounting for 20-40% of gout patients, because urate is easily deposited in renal interstitial tissue, thereby causing many kidney diseases.
Therefore, in addition to reasonable addition to some foods that are beneficial for eliminating uric acid in the diet, gout patients should also limit foods with high purine content to ensure that the amount of purines taken into the body per day does not exceed 300 mg.
Gout patients should eat a lot of alkaline foods (food rich in potassium, magnesium and calcium). Uric acid is easily dissolved in an alkaline environment.
Gout patients should eat a lot of alkaline vegetables such as cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, watermelon, apples, pears, etc. Gout patients can also eat some nuts such as peanuts, almonds, and walnuts.
