my uric acid level is 8.8 mg/dl.what precautions and medicines should i take to bring it in normal?

Accepted Answer

Don't Rx a lab: A uric acid level that's a bit higher than the reference range isn't something that you want to complicate your life by trying to manage. It simply lets your physician know that joint or kidney problems may be gout. Drink plenty of water so that your urine stays reasonably light and clear. Your physician can decide whether your current rx for birth control is the right one. Ignore "pop" advice.

An endocrinologist would be best to consult preoperatively to determine whether the procedure should be postponed or not.
