Gout can lead to kidney disease because of buildup of uric acid. I have chronic kidney disease on dialysis. I go to registered hospital dietician every 5 weeks. Get updated meal plans, research info. I would recommend a registered dietician consult. For just gout drinking plenty of water is very helpful. Many high fructose fruits and juices may be worse than alcohol for causing gout. If you already have kidney damage from gout really important to avoid.
DO: Eat Cherries Eating tart cherries – or drinking tart cherry juice -- may lower your risk of gout attacks. The red-purple pigments in the fruit – called anthocyanins – have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and are thought to provide protection.
What foods can I include? The following foods are low in purine. Eggs, nuts, and peanut butter Low-fat and fat free cheese and ice cream Skim or 1% milk Soup made without meat extract or broth Vegetables that are not on the medium-purine list below All fruit and fruit juices Bread, pasta, rice, cake, cornbread, and popcorn Water, soda, tea, coffee, and cocoa Sugar, sweets, and gelatin Fat and oil
Oh dear, I forgot to leave opportunity for other caregivers to comment. My bad, I got carried away looking things up. Sorry to be rude, but enthusiastic.
What foods should I limit? Medium-purine foods: Meats: Limit the following to 4 to 6 ounces each day. Meat and poultry Crab, lobster, oysters, and shrimp Vegetables: Limit the following vegetables to ½ cup each day. Asparagus Cauliflower Spinach Mushrooms Green peas Beans, peas, and lentils (limit to 1 cup each day) Oats and oatmeal (limit to ⅔ cup uncooked each day) Wheat germ and bran (limit to ¼ cup each day) High-purine foods: Limit or avoid foods high in purine. Anchovies, sardines, scallops, and mussels Tuna, codfish, herring, and haddock Wild game meats, like goose and duck Organ meats, such as brains, heart, kidney, liver, and sweetbreads Gravies and sauces made with meat Yeast extracts taken in the form of a supplement

I think the goal would be to eat a low purine diet.
1) Avoiding foods high in purines.
2) Eating foods low in purines.
A diet low in purines might be prescribed for kidney disease?
