Marginally high uric acid in 12 year old

Marginally high uric acid in 12 year old

Hi,

My son is 12 years old and he did a blood test recently.
The test reveals that his uric acid is slightly high.
Uric Acid *0.41 mmol/L (0.16-0.40)

His haematology test is all normal (haemoglobin, red cell count, haematocrit, MCV, MCH, while cell count, neutrophils, lymphocytes...).
His urea and creatinine test are all normal.

Is there any cause for concern?

It seems that children do have a higher uric acid, has your child undergone treatment recently is he taking Meds?
