Question 1

what are the symptoms of increased levels of uric acid in human body?

Accepted Answer

Hyperuricemia: High uric acid (hyperuricemia), can occur from many conditions; chemotherapy for cancer is often assoc. with hyperuricemia. Alcohol intake can lead to hyperuricemia. Symptoms vary from none to acute joint pain from gout (which is exquisitely tender!). Kidney stones from uric acid can lead to urine infection and severe pain. The Am. College Rheumatology advises ideal uric acid as

Question 2

if someone has alkalosis and theres an increase in s.uric acid 7.4(normal range 3.5-7) in blood which is drawn from vein.for about a month..will excess s.uric acid be removed from the body after alkalosis is corrected?

Accepted Answer

: Alkalosis and acidosis produce symptoms and are then treated appropriately. uric acid of 7.4 is not that high and may be rechecked and may normalize after your alkalosis is corrected. Do not get hung up on medical terms unless you have symptoms.

Question 3

what is uric acid and what is normal range for male what food is reason to increase this?

Accepted Answer

Purine metabolite: The breakdown product of adenine and guanine from your nucleic acids ; those you eat. Reference range for a man is around 3.4-7.0 mg/dl; low is never a problem, and high is concerning only if gout, uric acid stones or urate nephropathy are considerations. Don't treat a lab if you're not sick.

Question 4

my uric acid count is always around 7.8. is this in the normal range?

Accepted Answer

High Uric Acid: Many labs will report 7.8 as normal, but really, anything above 6.8 is probably too high as you are at increased risk of forming uric acid crystals. Elevated uric acid level is a risk factor for gout, and possibly hypertension &amp; diabetes. Talk to your doctor about ways to lower this. A low purine diet can help but is very difficult to follow. Medications are effective, but have disadvantages.

Question 5

if my uric acid value almost on the top normal range? what should i do? please advice

Accepted Answer

Avoid purine foods.: You should try to avoid alcohol and purine-rich foods such as organ meats ( liver, kidneys, gizzards) or shellfish. Also drinking milk and consuming vitamin c at 500 mg per day have both been shown to decrease serum uric acid levels.

Question 6

big toe pain (quality: warm to touch, pain in joint). possibly gout. however, uric acid levels are always in normal range. what else could it be?

Accepted Answer

Walks like a duck?: Don't be too anxious to discount possible gout. There is more to it than having a elevated uric acid. You need to look at the quality of your diet and life style, genetics, age, body type and degree of swelling, heat and pain. The time tested method of securing the diagnosis of gout is evaluation of the joint fluid. To remove all doubt, have your toe evaluated by a specialist.

Question 7

need advice on what is the the normal level of uric acid in human blood?

Accepted Answer

We like to see: We like to see a level below 6 especially when we are treating gout.

Question 8

what is the normal amount of uric acid that should be in your body?

Accepted Answer

About 6: There is a wide range of what is considered "normal, " but we try to keep known gout sufferers at 6.0 or lower.

Question 9

creatinine level is 1.3mg/dl (range:0.8-1.3)..bun/creat ratio normal,electrolytes all normal, uric acid normal, urinalysis all normal..
any concern?

Accepted Answer

No: At your age, kidney function is usually starting to drop of. And/or you may simply be physically fit and decently muscled. When I was lifting weights daily, I ran 1.7-1.8. I see you have hepatitis C and cirrhosis. See if you can get into one of these new studies with the meds that usually cure it. Best wishes.

Question 10

2 weeks ago creatinine was 1.06, urea 5, now creatinin is 0.94 urea is 4 but uric acid is 384 (borderline 340). bordering a1c 5.8. controled hypertention 125/80. kidney screening normal ranges. why does creatinine fluctate. can it be begining of ckd?

Accepted Answer

Creatinine fluctuate: Creatinine will vary depending on if it was drawn before you got out of bed or after.  By time of day, by how much fluid you drink. It varies by your muscle mass.  Discuss with your team  Assume a 5% random error n labs and your Cr has not changed significantly. When creat goes up over time it may indicate kidney disease.  Plot 1/Cr on Y and time on X and you can predict when you need dialysis.
