Stop worrying: You are worrying about nothing. Your uric acid levels are fine and require no treatment of any kind. My advice is never recheck it again and forget about it. It only matters if you have gout.

Diet matters: Avoid alcohol, animal fats, organ meats and shellfish. Limit other meats to 4 oz per day. Avoid high fructose corn syrup containing drinks. Add egg whites, quinoa, soy as protein. Eat lots of fruit and veggies. Drink 3 liters per day.
