Dear Mrs. Prem Kumari, welcome to HCM. It is important that you tell us the level of your kidney function now (eGFR) or your creatinine before any nephrologist can suggest a safe drug for your problem and the diet as well. For reducing uric acid - avoid meat products, Carbonated drinks, alcohol, etc.If your uric acid level is too hit you may need to start medication (Febuxostat 40mg once a day long term with monitoring of your kidney function and uric acid level by a local doctor) to reduce it before you start having gouty complications. Hope this helps. Best wishes. RB
