Question 1

does high uric acid mean my kidneys are not capable enough to excrete it? if yes will my kidneys eventually fail?

Accepted Answer

High uric acid.: A high uric acid level in the blood means you’re either producing too much or excreting too little. Testing can help figure out which applies to you.  If you’re an under-excreter, it doesn’t mean your kidneys are guaranteed to fail.

Question 2

i've had a high creatinine of 1.09, 1.11, 1.13.my bun /creatinine ratio is 10. also i have high uric acid.what does this all mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: These creatinine levels minimally elevated and you're in late middle age. Probably they mean nothing. Please manage any blood pressure / glucose tolerance issues, evaluate whether you are taking any meds you don't need, and follow them.

Question 3

i recently took a gut health test and this result came back: uric acid production pathways - your results indicate high microbial uric acid production. how should i interpret these results/what does this mean for my health?

Accepted Answer

: What you reported sounds like a scam. There is no medical entity consistent with this report. 
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Question 4

i have bubbles in my urine that don't go away immediately. what does it mean? i do have slightly elevated blood uric acid. is it kidney disease?

Accepted Answer

Not from uric acid: I am not aware of any disease related to bubbly urine. If you have no urinary problem otherwise, this should not be a problem.

Question 5

what herbal products/natural plants are best for reducing a high uric acid level?

Accepted Answer

Low purine intake: Besides lowering the uric acid intake, eat more celery, fevervine, cinnamon from taiwan and silver birch.

Question 6

can you take ultra mega green women'50 plus if you have gout or a high uric acid level.?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Good nutritional support is critical, so talk with your doctor about increased uric acid levels and what foods to avoid or limit.  You proably should be on either Allopurinol or uloric. The specific supplement you are taking is not harmful!

Question 7

i have a high uric acid problem. and vitamin d is low. my heals pain a lot?

Accepted Answer

See details: An elevated uric acid is not a problem unless you have a history of gout, kidney stone or a significant reduction in kidney function. Heel pain is unrelated to the uric acid or the vitamin d.

Question 8

what causes a high uric acid? whether it can be cured?

Accepted Answer

Several: Some have a deficiency that makes them unable to eliminate enough uric acid.  Others produce too much.  Chemotherapy causing the bursting of blood cells can cause high uric acid.  Uric acid when too high can cause kidney stones and gout attacks.  It is unhealthy for the blood vessels.  A diet low in purines (search web for "gout diet" or "low purine diet") can help.  Meds sometimes are needed.

Question 9

my doctor told me that i have to take febuxostat and atorvastatin because i have a high uric acid and high ldl cholesterol. is the medicine right?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Febuxostat in addition to diet is first line of treatment for reducing uric acid level in Gout. Statins and diet are first line of treatment for Hypercholesterolemia. Follow your doctors advice

Question 10

discomfort under my kneecaps after high uric acid. what to do for this?

Accepted Answer

May not be gout: Need an evaluation.  If an effusion (fluid in the joint space) is present tap it and look to see if gout drystals present.  More likely you have typical knee pain.  Perform quad sets for help.  In bed tighten the quads and hold for 10 seconds, then relax for 10 seconds.  Do this 20 times in am and pm.  If typical knee pain it should get better in 2 weeks.  Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin are good pain reliever.
