Select the 3 dietary choices that are not part of the recommended diet gout.

B. Hematuria can indicate renal involvement, which is a serious complication of SLE. Lupus nephritis, inflammation of the kidneys caused by SLE, can lead to hematuria, proteinuria, and impaired kidney function. Monitoring for renal complications is essential in managing SLE exacerbations, and hematuria warrants immediate attention to assess the extent of renal involvement and adjust treatment as necessary.
A. Joint pain is a common symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organs and tissues, including the joints. While joint pain can be distressing for the patient, it is not necessarily an urgent or life-threatening complication requiring immediate intervention.
C. Muscle atrophy, or the wasting away of muscle tissue, can occur in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly if they are experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity due to joint pain, fatigue, or other symptoms. While muscle atrophy can contribute to functional impairment and decreased quality of life, it is not typically considered an urgent or life-threatening complication requiring immediate intervention.
D. Low-grade fever is a common symptom in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), often occurring during disease flares or exacerbations. Monitoring the patient's temperature and assessing for other signs of infection or disease activity is important, but low-grade fever alone may not warrant urgent intervention.

D Peritoneal dialysis involves using the peritoneum (the lining of the abdominal cavity) as a semipermeable membrane to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. It requires a healthy peritoneal membrane for effective dialysis. Crohn's disease, especially if it has led to extensive inflammation or scarring of the peritoneum, can impair the function of the peritoneum and make peritoneal dialysis less effective or even contraindicated.
A While chronic viral hepatitis may affect the liver's ability to metabolize waste products, it is not necessarily a contraindication for peritoneal dialysis. However, active hepatitis or significant liver dysfunction may impact the choice of dialysis modality and require careful evaluation by the healthcare team.
B Nephrotic syndrome involves kidney damage that leads to excessive protein loss in the urine, fluid retention, and other complications. While nephrotic syndrome may necessitate dialysis as kidney function declines, it is not a contraindication for peritoneal dialysis per se.
C While diabetes-related complications can influence the choice of dialysis modality and require close monitoring, type 2 diabetes mellitus alone is not a contraindication for peritoneal dialysis.
