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? Answer: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 Normal values fall between 3.0 and 7.0 mg. Could led to: alcoholism diabetes gout hypoparathyroidism lead poisoning leukemia nephrolithiasis polycythemia vera renal failure toxemia of pregnancy It depends on if you're a man, woman or child. Here's a link with those levels: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/uric-... If it's still high you could get kidney stones or gout. Here's an article about it on WebMd.com: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/uric-... I don't know how to lower it so you should ask your physician about that.
