Monroe Township was originally formed as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 3, 1859, from portions of Washington Township, while the area was still part of Camden County. Monroe Township was shifted to Gloucester County on February 28, 1871, along with the majority of Washington Township.
âStress, dehydration and certain medications, such as diuretics, can cause a jump in uric acid, as can weight gain,â she says. âOne study found that just gaining 10 pounds over four months was associated with an increased incidence of gout.â.
Diuretics should not actually damage the kidneys (except in the case of uncommon allergic reactions, especially to sulfa-containing diuretics such as Lasix). However, by removing water from the circulation, diuretics can raise the levels of BUN and creatinine, which are commonly-used measures of kidney function. When this happens, the BUN and creatinine should go right back down to their previous levels when the diuretic is stopped.
