Question:
What is safe level of Uric acid level in blood?
I have 6.3% in blood in spite of medication like Zyloric 2 times a day. What will be the adverse effect if the level goes further? How to reduce the level further?
Answers:
High levels of uric acid in the blood can build up in the body. This can cause gout. If gout remains untreated, uric acid crystals can build up in the joints forming hard deposits called tophi. High levels of uric acid may also cause kidney stones or kidney failure.
If your level is 6.3, that is okay as long as you stay below 7
To bring the level down you must:
Avoid alcohol
Maintain a healthy weight
Lose weight if you're overweight
Avoiding foods high in purines. (hearts, herring, mussels, yeast, smelt, sardines)
Discontine use of medications that may be causing elevated uric acid levels
