What Causes Recurrent Gout Attacks While Having Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus?
I was born with neprhogenic diabetes insipidus. At age 32 I traveled to Colombia and my spleen ruptured. I also was put on dialysis. It was determined I had sickle cell. When I came back to USA I start having Gout flare ups.they are now more frequent and last longer. Is there a connection with my illnesses and what treatment can I pursue?

Hello,
The gout attacks can be related to a high level of uric acid.
I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication to treat the pain such as Naproxen.
I also recommend using Allopurinol to low the level of uric acid in the blood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
