It is reversible 100 % with diet please contact mobile in what's app if you have gout, a form of arthritis characterized by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, it's important to follow a diet that helps manage your condition. The following are some dietary recommendations for individuals with gout, based on an indian diet: 1. Limit purine-rich foods: purines are compounds that break down into uric acid in the body. Foods high in purines can increase uric acid levels and trigger gout attacks. Limit or avoid purine-rich foods such as organ meats (liver, kidneys), red meat (beef, lamb), seafood (anchovies, sardines, shellfish), and certain legumes (lentils, chickpeas). 2. Increase low-fat dairy intake: low-fat dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese, have been associated with a lower risk of gout. They contain proteins that may help lower uric acid levels. Choose low-fat or skim varieties, and aim for 2-3 servings per day. 3. Consume plenty of fruits and vegetables: fruits and vegetables are generally low in purines and high in fiber and antioxidants, which can be beneficial for managing gout. Include a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet, such as berries, cherries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, tomatoes, and bell peppers. 4. Emphasize whole grains: whole grains like brown rice, whole wheat, oats, and quinoa are healthy carbohydrate sources that provide fiber and nutrients. They can be included in meals to replace refined grains. 5. Stay hydrated: drinking an adequate amount of water helps in flushing out uric acid from the body. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water per day, and include hydrating fluids like coconut water, herbal teas, and low-sugar fruit juices. 6. Limit alcohol and sugary beverages: alcohol, especially beer, can raise uric acid levels and trigger gout attacks. It's best to limit or avoid alcohol consumption. Additionally, sugary beverages like soft drinks and sweetened fruit juices should be minimized, as they may contribute to weight gain and worsen gout symptoms. 7. Moderate your intake of protein: while high-purine protein sources should be avoided, it's still important to consume moderate amounts of protein for overall health. Include lean sources of protein like skinless poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, and plant-based proteins like legumes and tofu. 8. Control portion sizes and maintain a healthy weight: excess weight can increase the risk and severity of gout attacks. Watch your portion sizes, avoid overeating, and focus on achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized dietary advice and guidance based on your specific needs and medical condition.

Creatinine, thyroid function tests, fasting sugar and ecg should be done annually and bp check at regular intervals other tests are less useful febuget is required only for those with gout. It’s not very helpful if taken just for blood level. In your case uric acid rise is side effect of bp medicines. Better to change bp medicines than to add medicines similarly many people are prescribed thyroid medicine for elevation of tsh in blood. Always better to keep long term medicines minimum necessary.

Extensive hairfall after a recent episode of viral infection or any stressful situations body has gone through is called telogen effluvium. It may reduce on its own. Watch for 2 more wks. Eat healthy, sleep properly. Consult a dermatologist if it doesn't reduce.

U should not skip any medication particularly blood pressure medications. Poor bp control will lead to rapid progression of kidney disease and also can lead to other catastrophes like heart attack and brain stroke. It is better to avoid fasting and continue medications as advised.

Hello Lybrate-User, It will not be safe for you and your father to take advise for such serious problems from random suggestions. Better let the doctor who is treating since the beginning manage it. One mistake and you will lose the case.

Hello. Febuget 40 is a drug to lower your uric acid. It has no relation with your creatinine level. Check your present uric acid level. If it is within normal range, then consult your doctor if the tablet can be withdrawn or need to be continued. Hope this helps.
