Uric Acid

Uric Acid

Hello, I have been on a weightloss program and have just had a blood test done, the doctor told me that they were worried about my Uric Acid levels, and asked if i have Gout (which i do not have). I am wondering if there are any other ailments that Uric Acid can cause, is it dangerous. Also how do i decrease my Uric Acid levels,

It is good you are on a weight loss program because Uric Acid does increase from it. Suggest increasing water consummation daily, eat a diet that is higher in carbohydrates, low in fat; and restrict alcoholic beverages. Carbohydrates increase excretion of uric acid; however, high fat decreases excretion.
