Prednisone: Prednisone can be taken or the affected joint can be aspirated and injected with cortisone. The ultimate treatment is to take a med to normalize the serum uric acid and prevent future attacks. With significant renal failure, uloric would be my drug of choice.

Gout and CKD: Do not take ibuprofen; best to take short course of prednisone, or get a direct injection of cortisone into the affected joint area; avoid narcotics; adjust your diet so that uric acid levels decline: Tart cherry juice is effective against gout; avoid organ meat, fatty meats and alcohol; incline diet toward alkaline foods - get dietitian advice
