Yes without any doubt. I used to get gout about 2/3 times a year and it only lasted a day or two. Recently my doctor prescribed me diuretics for my blood pressure .From day one i got gout and it lasted for days and weeks. Thank god I suspected the reason and stopped using them. within a few days my goutdisappeared and i am back to normal now. I asked the doctor to give me different medicine for my blood pressure.
The reason for this is that uric acid leaves the body with urine and when the amount of water in the system is limited , it is harder for the kidneys to filter it out.

Does diuretic meds work agaianst gout?
No, a diuretic is something that cause your body to lose fluid. that means that the uric acid that exists in your blood reaches a higher concentration. this in turn leads to the situation where a saturation point is reached and the acid has to start crystallising, which leads to gout. there fore any thing that removes water from the system will increase the possibility of having gout. not drinking water will have the same effect.
