How to Deal with Gout in Kidney Failure

FSGS or (Focal Segmental Glomerulo Sclerosis) is a rare condition which attacks the filtering system of the kidneys and leads to serious scarring. FSGS is also responsible for a more serious disease called Nephrotic Syndrome.

The relationship between Focal Segment Glomeruloscerosis and Gout is simple. Those suffering from Focal Segment Glomeruloscerosis have damaged kidneys. This means that waste products such as uric acid are not excreted properly from the body. When this happens, uric acid becomes trapped in the bloodstream. This leads to the accumulation of urate crystals in the joints, causing pain and inflammation.
Elevate the painful joint. In doing so, gravity will help to reduce the inflammation of the ankle as the blood slowly drains from the inflamed area. The minimum elevation needed is 30 degrees over a period of one hour, so that all the blood will circulate back towards the heart.

Avoid putting pressure on the painful joint. The patient should try to keep their feet off the ground for as long as possible, until the pain and swelling subsides.

Take anti-inflammatory medication. Gout causes inflammation and redness around the affected joint. Inflammation then leads to swelling which makes the pain worse.

Aspirin and Ibuprofen are highly recommended anti-inflammatories that can offer relief by reducing the inflammation and blocking the pain.

500 mg of ibuprofen or paracetamol can be taken 3 to 4 times a day, but only after checking with your physician for any possible adverse reactions to these reactions in FSGS patients.
