Gout/low kidney GFR: Allopurinol and other gout meds may be harmful to the kidneys. Monitoring of renal function is extremely important as well as the uric acid levels in blood and in the urine. An adequate amount of gout meds to control hyperuricemia while sparing renal function is critical.

Gout: Allopurinol rarely causes kidney problems. But , with one kidney you should have your renal function checked regularly as a precaution. Allopurinol is safer than Colchicine

Work up will be needed as the presence of atypical urothelial cells is not related to gout. Imaging and cystoscopy are usually part of the work up best done under the care of a urologist.
