What a high Uric Acid means, and common causes

Uric acid is raised, which increases the chance of gout attacks and certain kidney stones. Many people with a high level never develop symptoms.

Common causes: Red and organ meat, seafood, beer and sugary drinks, obesity, reduced kidney function, diuretic medicines, psoriasis, and rapid cell turnover during cancer treatment.

What a low Uric Acid means, and common causes

A low uric acid rarely causes problems.

Common causes: Some medicines, liver disease, a very low-purine diet, and rare inherited kidney transport disorders.

Frequently asked questions

Roughly 3.4 to 7.0 mg/dL for men and 2.4 to 6.0 mg/dL for women.

No. Many people with a raised level never get an attack. Gout is diagnosed from a sudden hot, swollen, intensely painful joint, often the big toe, not from the blood test alone.

Red meat, organ meat, shellfish, beer and sugary soft drinks. Lentils and vegetables contribute far less than their reputation suggests.

Paani zyada piyein, sharab aur meethe drinks kam karein, aur red meat ghataayein. Baar baar jodon mein dard ho to doctor se milein.
