Ok, I will try and look this up for you and be right back.

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?

Others are going to have an answer for you.

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.

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.
