Kidney Cysts, Hypertension, Gout


Description of illness conditions:
I am 55 years old and stage 3 chronic kidney disease due to a few cysts in bilateral kidneys. I also have hypertension and gout for several years. I take Atenonol for controlling high blood pressure and colchicine for gout and my diet is vegatarian.
Illness analysis and suggestions
You said that you have many years hypertension and gout, so your renal damages may not only due to the cysts in the kidneys. Long term high blood pressure and gout can all damage your renal functions. Therefore it is very necessary to first control blood pressure and gout. Your stage is middle stage. Given proper treatment and right daily care, it can be well controlled.
As for these cysts on kidneys, do you have any discomforts or symptoms such as back pain, abdominal mass, blood in urine, bubble urine, etc. I recommend you to take B ultrasound to make clear the size, location and growth conditions so that more specific suggestions can be given to you.
In this case, you should pay much attention to your condition,because you still have chance to improve your kidney function by taking both TCM (traditional Chinese medicines) and some western medicine. It can help to repair the damaged kidneys. You are at 3rd stage, which means your kidney function is bettew 30% to 60%. Your kidney are damaged,so kidney function decrease. If you want to protect your present and even improve it, repairing the kidneys is necessary.
Diets for controlling high blood pressure
A serving size of whole grains is roughly one slice of bread, one ounce of dry cereal or 1/2 cup of cooked rice, pasta or cereal. Examples of whole grains well suited for the DASH diet are whole wheat bread and rolls (with visible grains), whole wheat pasta, oatmeal, brown rice, unsalted pretzels, popcorn and English muffins.
Diets for controlling gouts
Eliminate foods that are high in purines. These are typically protein-rich foods, but there are other foods and beverages that contain significant amounts of purines. Doing this helps prevent severe symptoms and may enhance the effectiveness of drug therapy. Foods to be avoided on a low-purine diet include: organ meats (liver, kidney and sweetbreads), sardines, anchovies, mackerel, canned fish, mussels, beef, pork roast, chocolate, beer, red wine and beans. Foods that offer a moderate amount of purines (eat less of these foods) include: peas, legumes, oatmeal, spinach, asparagus, mushrooms and luncheon meats.
