Low purines diet - Eugene Springfield Nephrology
Low- purine diet purines are found in many foods, especially organ meats, anchovies, mackerel, and sardines. purines make up 15% of the uric acid found in the body. Too much uric acid can lead to problems, including kidney stones and gout. For this reason, a low purine diet is recommended for people who have kidney stones, gout and sometimes for people who have an organ transplant. The diet is often used with medication to lower uric acid levels. Important points to keep in mind: Avoid high purine foods (see list below). Limit high fat foods Limit or avoid alcohol. (alcohol increases purine production, leading to higher uric acid levels in your blood and urine.). Limit all meat and seafood consumed at a meal to about 3.
