Question 1

can smoking marijuana lower or increase uric acid levels in blood or is there no effect?

Accepted Answer

Not likely.: I cannot find any data to indicate that marijuana has any appreciable effects on uric acid levels (although there are also no studies that demonstrate it does not).   Marijuana has been been approved for medical use for certain conditions including glaucoma and cancer, but does not have an indication for treating gout or elevated uric acid levels.

Question 2

male, ldl cholestrol 180,triglyerides 113, hdl  34 ,uric acid is 6. vegeterion.no smoking., sugar, bp & weight  is normal . is needs any medicine now.

Accepted Answer

Yes: The high LDL a low HDL are significant risk factors. I would personally start a statin, especially if there is a positive family history of cardiovascular disease.

Question 3

does smoking hash/marijuana (once in 3 months) increase uric acid levels further where egfr and other kidney tests, including ultrasound, are normal?

Accepted Answer

: It should not. But these drugs are in general harmful to health and should be avoided

Question 4

can throwing up too much in short time cause acid-base disorders?alkalosis?high blood ph.7.49 low anion gap 18.4 ..which if not detected and treated early can make you feel imbalanced &dehydrated..which can also increase uric acid levels?

Accepted Answer

: If you vomit heavily in a short time, you may develop metabolic alkalosis and volume contraction or dehydrated (hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis). If the dehydration is severely enough, renal function may be acutely impaired then both serum creatinine and uric acid can be higher.

Question 5

i'm suffering uric acid issue for the past 8 yrs. i used to take allupurinol tablets 300mg for 1 month followed by 100 mg for 2 months, then my uric acid level gets reduced. after stopping medication for 2 months again level increases and gout pain.

Accepted Answer

Uric acid: It sounds like you may need a maintenance dose of allopurinol in the range of 100-300 mg. As of now there are very clear indications for maintenance therapy in gout and your doc or rheumatologist should be able to clarify based on specifics pertaining to your condition.

Question 6

can hydroxycitric acid raise your uric acid levels?

Accepted Answer

Why?: It doesn't matter whether it will raise uric acid levels. What matters is that it won't do anything positive for you. Why are you taking it in the first place? Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 7

can renal failure cause increase in uric acid level?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Yes it can.  As the kidney weakens, uric acid levels can increase and lead to gout attacks.

Question 8

last month my uric acid level was 217 umol/l and now it rises to 469 umol/l. i had gout. im on a low purine diet. wht should be the reason of increase?

Accepted Answer

Uric acid: The purine diet may not be working. You may also need medication.

Question 9

what happens when uric acid levels increase in body?

Accepted Answer

Gout and kidney: disease. High uric acid levels may cause gout, kidney stones and kidney damage. See this site for more info.

Question 10

does fenugreek seeds increase uric acid level?

Accepted Answer

No: I can find no evidence that fenugreek seeds increase uric acid levels. I have found articles recommending taking fenugreek seeds both internally and externally as a poultice for gout as it has anti-inflammatory properties.
