I'm managing CRF, and while diet matters, your personal immunology matters more. For instance, I have IgA nephropathy, so: "No evidence to point toward hypersensitivity to food antigens ..." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538214/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538214/ However, I feel best when intermittent fasting or doing keto. (Don't do keto unless you can stay in ketosis.) I don't take anything for "inflammation reduction", and I tend to have fewer CRF-related responses when I'm not in an environment where I'm having any hypersensitivity responses to allergens. Getting a bad respiratory illness will 100% of the time trigger a flare up, as well as certain GI conditions. Immunity is characterized by cascade responses, and stopping your internal police force from getting the wrong idea and starting a riot that turns into a police state is a lifelong challenge. I've tried amino acid restriction, been on Prednisone, and am otherwise "healthy" by my routine panels.

I wish i could eat steak and cheeseburgers like i use to, but for me it all started with my first gout attack right before my kidney issue was spotted. I have had 5 to 6 gout attacks in the last 8 years. Last being a bad one in Sept 2022. My previous diet was going to steakhouses a few times a week with mac n cheese and mashed potatoes with country gravy as side dishes. Shared dessert with my dining partner(s). My body to enjoy the same full life of hiking up mountains, skiing, biking, swimming, enjoying lots of intimacy for years to come without drugs can no longer take my previous diet. I'd be on dialysis most likely now or in the next few years if I chose a bad diet over continuing to live the same full life ive always enjoyed by revolutionizing my diet.

  Fructose is involved in the metabolic pathway that leads to gout. You might want to try eliminating fructose from your diet for a while. https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson/ https://peterattiamd.com/rickjohnson/

    I don't eat a lot of foods containing fructose as I read labels of what I'm buying/eating. Like cereals (use almond milk) i eat do not contain any fructose ... few ingredients in them.
